large tubing source?

[Mark Selleck]

I'm looking for a source for a couple of cut pieces of 100mm heavy wall tubing, borosilicate if possible, soft glass if that's all I can get. I have a customer who wants me to replicate some etched lampshades, and I need the blanks. The original she has is 4" OD, with a 1/8" wall thickness, 8 1/2" long. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I know Robin Mickkleson had some tubing that big at one point. Robin?

Hey Mark! Long time, eh? First place I would check would be Winship out in Oregon. They have recently merged with GlassCraft but I know they stocked large diameter tubing at 100, 150 and even 200mm!

They might be willing to cut if for you. If not, you will have to have the cutting done somewhere else.
