Introduction: How to Make Copper Wire Inlay Decorations
More by the author:
About: Come spend some time in the shop. I'm a hobbyist woodworker and professional computer geek in Northern California. I guess my projects will vary widely, and I have no clue what I plan to make next...
I had zero plans on doing a project today, but I woke up with an idea and needed to try it! I routed some groves with a v-bit and then inlaid some copper wire.
After a bit of glue and sanding it was done. All total was under and hour in the shop. I love the look but more than that I'm really excited about the possibilities!

A great use for offcuts and scrap copper wire, nice work!
Another solution to suspending work during finish application is the caltrop, aka jacks:
