Double images on handmade Dobsonian telescope?

My husband and I are just finishing up our 6" scope. Images are clear, but we are seeing double. Anyone know what the problem could be? Here's the specs:

6" F8
Focal length = 48"
1.5" secondary

Collimation seems good.

Thanks!
We purchased the mirrors from Hands On Optics. Primary has 1/6 peak to valley wave. Secondary has 1/10. Didn't do Faulcult test. Eyepiece is a 25mm taken from a 3" Bushnell scope that functioned fine.
