I think your best bet would be to contact your local Tandy Leather Factory store, there is one in Syracuse. I woudl call and tell them what you are trying to do and then take the ride there with a rod tube and maybe a picture and have them set you up. The guys at my local Tandy are extremely helpful and I've heard that all the stores are like that.
