Hi, just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a graphite marver with the lentil shape for making lentil beads? Tuffnells have a marble marver but I can't find a lentil one anywhere.

Does anyone use one of these and recommend or otherwise...or it is best to save for a lentil press instead?

Any advice welcome, thanks!

I got mine from Plowden and Thompson.......but now always use my press, and this is relegated to applying frit.

i use a press too.......... but might be worth checking out  bead rollers.....not sure what shapes they have.. ...frit and glas have them  (under grafite on site) .......they are comming to flame off

These people have one, http://www.creativeglassshop.co.uk/graphite-shaper-lentil-p-1761.html
I have ordered from them in the past and they are very good.
