Nice photo. I did something similar once with a lens on my Nikon bellows, but as a 150mm on 35mm the image didn't have the close lovely presence yours does.
Maybe you should be making the hood from a Salmon can, then? Trademark already printed for you.

Gotta love them graflexes. Is it just a simple convex lens?

Love it ! Why didn't I think of that? However it could take a while to ramp up production so don't be too quick in putting Tuna or Salmon into your Photographic favourite searches on Ebay.
I going to try some portraits this weekend subjects willing. I have some home made aluminium lens boards that need a coat of matt black paint so I will do the lens hood at the same time. The interior of the barrel is already blackened but I have no way of further recessing the lens into barrel.
The lens is convex on one side and flat on the other. Contrary to normal practice I have mounted it with the convex side facing the film and the flat side facing the subject. No reason other than it wwas a better fit that way. However the effect I think will be for the peripheral rays to diverge rather than converge perhaps contributing to the light scatter at the edges of the image.

Don't let the lens hoods get corroded otherwise some lunatic will confuse you with Salman Rushdie .
