Anyone make coffee bean blanks

[Dvoigt]

I asked this in the blank making section, but didn't get a response, so I thought I would try the general room...

Does anyone out there cast white coffee bean blanks that are longer then the 5" ones commonly sold? I like to use them to make with the coffee scoop kits from PSI, but they are too short to get 2 blanks from, so end up wasting 40% of the blank.

I can use the small pieces for pens, but don't get alot of interest in coffee pens.

Thanks,
Derek

There are ALWAYS options!!

Use the smaller pieces for key chains.

Or, shorten the handle on your coffee scoops.

Leave the length the same, but put accent rings at both ends (different material, maybe brown acrylic??)

I like the segmented look with accent ends. Perfect situation for that.

Fred Wissen/ptownsubbie makes them. Fred Wissen Designs LLC May not hurt to contact him to see if he'd do custom casting to your specifications.
