Gold plate non conductive wooden substrates

I want to gold plate wooden substrates. Can some one tell me how to make them conductive?

Thanks,

Our FAQ on Plating Organic Materials will be a start. The required metallization method could depend on other things, but I think lacquering and then coating with a conductive (copper or silver-bearing) paint would work. Suppliers include Acheson Colloids and G.J. Nikolas [a finishing.com supporting advertiser].
