RE: PVC or not

>From one who chose acrylic...it is very attractive indeed. Mine is a 6 inch
Plexiglas form. The gold of the copper and the Min Wax Poly (6+coats) look
good. I paid about $75 for 3 feet of 1/8 wall so that's $25/foot. Your quote
for 14/16" diam is decent at $20-30/foot! I'd go for the acrylic and skip
the extra drying drudgery.
