Now I don't know if this will help...but at our local hardware store they carry a compound that when it is exposed too air it hardens like cement...I often thought this would be great for molding special projects. It was in the glue section...it kinda looks similar too black clay. I forget the name, cause I never used it...but did see it work. I thought about molding a harp mic with it...but I forgot all about the stuff till you asked what use..I figured if I carved the wood too look like the inside specs...I could wrap it with the compound ...then remove the wood insert after drying....may work...I don;t know....sounds good in theory...lol

Hope this helps..

I'm making one out of a small parmesean cheese shaker. the top (grill) is metal. the body is clear plastic but I'm going to use metallic spray paint on it. 

I'm using a rubber drain plug for a gasket & to secure the mic element. 

There's a lot of different kinds:
