Default Re: Incrustation(inlay) "line" metal in wood

Nice tutorial! Thanks for posting this.

I understand the compression concept and how it would work on softer hardwoods like walnut.

How would you handle this in some of the harder tropical woods like ebony, zircote, or even desert ironwood? In woods that are very difficult to "compress" do you actually need to "carve" a channel and glue the wire in?
