The end of the tube does look flared, maybe need to think about how that happened. Eamonn's suggestions are possibilities.

Other possible causes. There is a lot of tearout on the rest of the blank. Blunt tools? Too heavy cuts? What tool did you use?

Insufficient glue between tube and blank? Use epoxy instead of CA perhaps?

Just some ideas, others may have different suggestions.
