    Hello, I have a wood carver friend who makes bowls on a lathe.  Some
    woods have small voids that he fills with silver filings, giving the
    finished piece sort of a stippled look.  On bowls he cuts a shallow
    groove for the silver accents. 

    He tamps the silver filings into the hole or groove, then puts "Hot
    Stuff" glue on the filings.  There is an accelerator that is goes
    next over the glue to hasten and complete the hardening.  He then
    completes the lathe work and finishes the wood. 

    Perhaps this method might work for your purposes. Best of luck, Judy
    in Kansas, where a winter storm warning is in effect.  The rain and
    temperatures are falling; when the ground freezes, it'll be nasty!
