No, fusing means joining without solder.
The rough surface look is called reticulation and is an effect effect done by playing a torch over the surface of sterling sheet intermittency until you have the look you want.
It seems to me you would now benefit from this moderately priced, but comprehensive book, which would help with vocabulary and inspire you to try new techniques:

Amazon also have used copies. Dennis.

Very good timing dennis. I was looking at books yesterday. I have some very good amateur books but i like to know not just how to do something, but why. The book you've recommended looks just the thing. With the fusing i was wondering why you wouldn't use sterling. In a couple of my books they use it. Sheena.

You can use Sterling Silver although Argentium is much easier to fuse, plus you don't have fire scale problems
