PVC pipe might be a little wonky unless you get a large enough diameter and
that could be difficult to hang on to for any length of time. You can also
buy wood doweling in all sorts of diameter sizes and use a T fitting from
the plumbing department, use it to assemble the cut doweling to appropriate
size and paint it accordingly. The leather wrap is a nifty idea.
