Thanks for all the suggestions. It helps to know nobody else has really solved this either.
I made a half-round mandrel from boro, but it didn't work and I don't remember why; maybe I should try it again. I also tried using the globular dapping punch, but the handle is short and it got too hot.
Slumping would work really well, but I have a dirty little secret; no kiln. [Please, no dire warnings, folks, I don't sell my work.]
Also no hot fingers, interior or exterior.
I may have to try the multiple punty approach again. Or use Fimo. But I hate Fimo...
