Default Radar Mount Help!!

I am making my own radar mount. It is going to be about 12" tall. Does anyone know where I can get the oval pipe that radar mounts are made from? I know in the old days folks would use a old sailboat mast but they are hard to come by! Any help would be great!

Depending on the material you are using: a 3" or 4" tube can be crushed with a press to get the shape you are looking for. Use wood blocks above and below to distribute the pressure.
