Thanks Alistair,
I drilled hole in the wooden rings and hammered the tubes in (they were a nice tight fit) I'll pull them out and glue them in when I'm ready.
I used MDF because I had some laying around and also there's less chance of chipping when cutting, I find I can get a better finish with it as well.
As to sealing, I have never had any problems,
With a coat or two of exterior varnish or epoxy resin you'll be right for many years.
