I'm 50/50 on that one, Peter. The 'plug' is 7mm deep which would take some machine time on brass plate - then there's the stress the plug would put on the surrounding blank while turning. Probably uneconomical even if it were possible ...

how's the inlay done

Ian, there's a pictorial of the process in this thread.
