You could also try and pre-heat the wood to be filled with metal with a heat gun as sometime with low temp metal like this it can rapidly cool when it touches a cool surface. Same technique is done when casting into silicone molds. The molds are placed in a small toaster oven before hand and will achieve better results.

Really cool experiment love the look! As for filling smaller cracks could you pre-drill some small holes and fill them with thin wire to sort of act like a wick for the molten metal. Imagine a small crack with a bunch of equally spaced whiskers sticking up. I have no clue if this would work but it makes sense in my head, maybe something to do with surface tension and whatnot.

One idea intrigues me. If you overpour resin, you're out of luck. I'm wondering if it would be easier to recover the excess metal? Even sanded particulates might be possible. If the metal sinks and the wood shavings float, it might not be too horrible to separate the two. This would drive down the price by a lot.
