It will be lined wit coreflute, overall weight 1,1 kgs, not bad for a 14" ..I thought, lighter than the ali one and more rigid. and 1 fifth the weight of a metal one... Orders taken....it will be painted meade blue with mat black flute,,,nice and pretty,,,,a truss style dewey....

My first one aluminium, too fragile, if it bent it stayed bent, so made one out of .6 sheetmetal, too heavy, 4.5 kg, so got stuck into the metal one with a 4 inch angle grinder and a cutoff wheel, this is the result, Ill cut a sheet of corelute a couple of mil bigger than required for the inner sleeve and press it in, Post pics when its finished,,, painted...
