Does anyone know of any doming blocks and punches for making oval shapes in different sizes and if so where can I obtain them? Nearly all doming punches seem to be round only.

There is one available in the UK:http://www.suttontools.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=Oval+doming+set&x=30&y=7

It's expensive and very difficult to use successfully. The punches have to be placed sideways and are easily damaged by the rim of the block. It is probably best to start with oval disks.

I bought mine full of enthusiasm, but ended up using only the block in my hydraulic press for a decent result. Failing that I think a set of spoon stakes would be better. Dennis.

I would agree with Dennis, spoon stakes are the nearest thing to oval and you can get them on eBay as well
