Bigger.  10-14" across.  Mine are in storage this minute so I don't know
exactly but the size isn't the problem.  I can make hexes in almost any
size.

It's the shape.  Look here:

I want mine to be compatable and that means matching:
Thickness
Angle of sloped pieces
edges of compound pieces

Matching the thickness is easy.  Matching the angle is slightly harder.
but the egde curve?  No clue.

Look at pieces #1 and #7.  #7 I would bet is one piece beveled twice and
edged twice.  #1 is a stumper.

There's also the possibility that some of the shapes are complementary 
somehow in manufacture.  Maybe when you cut a full hex down for a #4 you

get enough extra to make two #1.  But I could never figure that out.
