Hi,

I would like to carve out a design on a wood surface and then somehow melt
or embed a silver/chrome looking metal/material into the grooves. Then I
want to sand it really smooth so that it looks like its part of the wood.
Any tips or suggestions greatly appreciated?

Thanks!!!!




Brownells Gunsmithing supply sells all the materiels for doing this.
It is usually done with a very small router bit and a template.
The grooves are filled with a silver or gold polymer stick that is
melted and dripped into the grooves, then sanded off.
