The only really good way to hone a tube for us amateurs, is to lathe turn a brass rod to fit the comp tube and spin it in the tube covered in fine grinding paste and oil.
It works, but is a bit more tedious than using a flexible cylinder hone.
Flex hones are notorious for causing uneven wear...
Using copper instead of brass can a good idea. So long as it’s moved in and out while turning, in order to keep the paste from clumping.
Where be your gibes now? Your songs? Your gambols? Miserable bugger!
