    it is done with prongs of wire or tubing that is fed through drilled
    holes in the bottom most palmwood (your example) /cab. Janice Ho also
    uses prongs to give her metal work a floating above the main body of
    her work feel and appearance..you can attach wires to anything,
    bezels, bezel cps, flat metals, then drill through the -whatever- and
    solder them in place to a backing plate, or rivet them int the case
    of tubing, or have a lapidary form pegs straight into the rough that
    can then be stacked onto another cab..it's a dimensional version of
    intarsia in that case..instead of making cloisonnes to hold the
    shaped cabochon materials on a flat plane, the pegs allow the crafter
    to stack the material and then perhaps, set it all into a bezel or
    attach to a backing of your design..rer
