I think I mentioned this before but - I used liquid solder=20
(from a tube).  It was for a brace with the pewter rings=20
missing.  The wood was wired on.  I tightened the wire and=20
started squeezing the liquid solder on.  I did it over a few=20
days, a layer at a time.  When I finally got it on a little=20
above the wood, I started working it down.  The only problem
I had, was the solder kinda blended into the wood.  I could
have taken care of that at the start but didn't. I used=20
lacquer thinner and it took care of most of it.
