I am looking for a supplier who can make wooden hex blocks to custom sizes, and possible can stamp/burn/paint simple images on each. Any ideas, directions much appreciated.

Ahhh, the memories of my first post! Update: Blue Panther LLC makes wooden hexes, and can burn (laser engrave) images into them.
They can also do color printing directly on wood.

This is great!
Thanks a lot for posting the website. This looks exactly like what I want/need. I was going to get some hexagonal Delrin rod and cut my own pieces, but I think this will work better.
Thanks again,

PS I still like Delrin and I might experiment with it anyway. For those of you that don't know what Delrin is, it's a self-lubricating, tough plastic that's used in maufacturing and machine parts.
A few years ago I used to be a big paintball enthusiast and I kept hearing about Delrin for the bolts used in paintball markers. I looked it up and it's neat stuff. It's got a nice, slick feeling when you pick it up. It almost feels oily, but it's not. I'll bet Blue Panther could burn some really cool images into it. My problem is finding a company that'll sell it to me in small quantities for a good price. I will confess I haven't tried really hard, but I've written to a couple places. One of them never responded. The other would only ship it to me in 10' lengths. That's way to much for a prototype. I'll poke around some more and if I find it for a good price, I'll post here. Depending on how much I have left after my prototype, I'll ship some to Blue Panther to see how it works for laser engraving and maybe some color imaging on the tiles.
