What do you mean by "wasn't the look I wanted"? You didn't give a very
good description of what you wanted...
A simple CSG using a torus and a couple planes or boxes to cut away the
unwanted portions might do what you want. Or you might use a lathe or CSG
of cylinders or cones if you want a different cross-section. If you don't
want a circular sweep, a mesh might be necessary, but otherwise it is
probably overkill.
