I tried this out last night on a Walnut Wood Duck Whistle.

The solder flew off the first time before I got it turned down all the way.  Re-glued it, and re-soldered the seem.  Second time around, it got it.  My seam wasn't too "seam-less"  LOL  But it looked pretty good for a first attempt.

Thanks for the tutorial

I'm glad you were successful.  :bigup:
I haven't had any fly off yet but I take super light cuts until the solder is round.

I'm pretty heavy handed with the gouge, so its entrely my fault  :down1:

All I had in the shop had a hollow core, so I went out today and bought some solid solder wire.  I'll try it again this weekend.

Excellent tutorial. I often wondered about soldering the seam. I have tried doing wire inlays before but never got the wire to stick in the groove. Your presentation helped imensly. I tried a bunch of inlays today and was quite sucessful. Thank you.
Now will this work on acrylic? Im too chicken to try it.

Do you glue the solder until you get to your marks?
