    This may not work at all but I had an idea about creating an ice
    core using the appropriate diameter plastic tubing. After freezing
    the tubing could be cut away before the tying began, then of course
    the ice would melt away. 

    An improvement on the above idea may be the water soluble injection
    wax sold by Rio on p.62 of the 2002 Tools catalog "Ideal for
    creating cores to reinforce hollow wax models that will be carved or
    engraved. Dissolve the core in water when the model is complete."
    <Insert standard disclaimer here> Any wax (such as the sculptuer
    wax) that is too pliable at room temperature can be made more rigid
    by a little time in the freezer. 

    Good luck!
