You might try a craft's store. I've seen wood pine circle in various diameters there before. Couldn't hurt to call around. As for the sonotube being flimsy, I had the same concern when I looked at them. I think, however, once you get a top and bottom on, they should be fine without the need for internal bracing.

What kind of woodworking tools do you have? I've seen homemade jigs for bandsaws that are used to cut exact circles. Also, it might sound silly, but concrete is pretty easy to work with and the forms are easily built. With a little practice, one can get a glass smooth finish. My wife and I played with concrete for a while; we are trying to make our own kitchen counters tops. We got to where we could lay 3' x 3' sections with simple forms and basic tools to almost a mirror finish. Concrete can also be colored rather easily to give some rather intersting effects......Colin
