Hunting for unique pin and tube stock for custom mosiac pins

[IrishSteel]

I'm looking for a source for unique tube and pin stock to make mosaic pins. By unique, I mean tubes and pins that have non-round or non-square cross sections. I've seen triangular, hexagonal and star shaped tube stock floating around but I haven't found a good source. I'd also be interested in other shapes.

Anyone know of a supplier that has something like what I'm talking about?

mcmaster carr might have hex shaped. Look up brass or other material extrusions on the google

Yeah Mcmaster Carr has some hex stock. After quite a bit of Google hunting I stumbled across www.ksmetals.com/ They have a handful of interesting profile shapes.

I'm also wondering if I could maybe form small diameter thin copper tubing, since it work hardens if I can make a tool/tools to "squish" it into shape that might get me some unique shapes.

not what you asked for but you might try using non metal pins like fiberglass and micarta for different look.
