Hi Andrew,
It
seems to me that it should work (think about solid core veneered
projects). I would definitely give it a try. I did metal into
walnut...of course metal doesn't expand, but the walnut will. Luckily for me it is only about 3" at max width of any point of metal. Hopefully
it doesn't split apart on me.
The woodshop widget will allow you to compare woods...and I think expansion rates too.
I might use 30 min. epoxy instead of
something like CA glue.
I look forward to hearing from someone that
might have a bit more experience with it.
Best of luck.
Shawn
