Pat, i had a look in the junk box and found a spent .243 cartridge case. The business end of it is (of course) .243" ID which is about 6mm, but this section of the case is only about 6mm long.

Don't know of suppliers here who can provide pre-cut small timber, but two very good people if you can mill your own are Anagote of Marrickville and Trend Timbers out at McGraths Hill. The bloke at Anagote is a wood fanatic and unbelievably helpful if you catch him at a time when he's not too busy. Trend have the advantage of having a section where they sell offcuts and small pieces for wood turners.
