Koftgari, How is it done?

Jeff,
Here is a close up of the little crosses, and one at a more moderate distance.
It sure looks rough from close up!

Jens,
Thank you for the over-view of different techniques.
I can see how possibly thin wire could be hammered onto the roughened base-metal, laying strands both ways to produce crosses.
I think if it were me though, I'd go insane before the first project was finished!

Now inlay, That I can understand!
It's no use, I'll have to have a bash as time allows...
