They make tools specifically for that. This is an 1/8" Diamond Point Stipple Tool and costs about $20. I'm assuming you could do much the same thing with different sized center punches. Practice on a scrap piece to get the hang of it and the outcome you're looking for. Good luck.

Do you mean something like this? If so, this was done by Muskrat Man. A member here.

Yeh that's exactly what I mean Guys . I assume with that diamond tip punch you are using a hammer to do each separate stipple , is that how Muskrat done his ?
