Making a home made bottle slide

Lost mine and am doing a show at the local historical society next week, and will need one so I cooked up this one. Smoothed it out and it works passably well..

One time I was in lack of one and I broke a glass bottle and used the neck.. worked just fine and looked cool too. Robbie Krieger from the doors used the same thing in the 60s

old fashioned glass medicine bottles make good slides too, only thing is its closed at one end (like the dunlop blues bottle, but i use an original medicine bottle that i got off of my gran)
