Sorry, I didn't make that clear, It was the glue joint between blank and tube that I meant. Epoxy would give you a better joint there.

Great advice above from Phil for using the spindle roughing gouge. The only thing I would add is to make sure you are cutting from the middle of the blank towards the ends. Cutting in from the ends has a much greater risk of breakout because the bevel is unsupported.
