   Cut inlay grooves on a lathe.

   Most of what looks like inlay on round objects is actually solid materiel scarfed in before the object is turned.
   If you are interested, have a look at Frank Howarth's videos - he does a bit of this sort of thing, and always machines very precise inlays with a CNC.

   If its not a inlay that goes all the way around the cylinder, how about mounting a Dremel tool with their tiny router bits, into a jig that holds it at a steady height. Then hold the cylinder under it in a jig that keeps it steady but lets you move it by hand.

   Thanks. What i am working on is a pepper mill shaped like a wine bottle. I want to put a label on the front to make it look more realistic. I do have a Bosch colt router that might do the same thing. Walnut bottle and maple label.
