Jeff,

Not too pricey? Are you kidding?

You can find plywood cylinders here  http://www.aitwood.com

But at 2' diameter...  about $400 a piece + shipping. Ouch!

Why not use the sonotube. It certainly fits into 'cheap.' You can easily 
fill the spiral grove with body putty or wrap it in a fabric or vinyl, 
before applying final graphics.
