First off: I tried to come up with a word for Inlay that started with a "P" but had no luck.

On to the question...

I've seen several threads here and there on pewter work for bolsters etc and think I want to try my luck at it. Before I go at it with a bolster, I'd like to try some inlay.

Here's my question: Is there a minimum depth/width of a carved groove that the pewter will fill? i.e. - if I carve the design too shallow will the molten pewter not adhere to the wood?

Thanks!
