I have to admit something: I cheated. While I called this an inlay, I just cut out the parts from veneer. So this is more of a “betweenlay”. The trick is to use a pointy v-carve bit and cut with the point exactly at the bottom of the material. This way I got these sharp zero-radius corners. I then flipped the ebony parts, so the pointy parts are on the top. What I forgot is to compensate for the resulting gap, roughly 0.5mm. Luckily I left some material on the sides of the ebony, so I could push everything together a bit.
I will definitely need your tip with the CA glue for the remaining gaps, though. 😅

Ahh the good old marquetry approach. I dig it.
Feel free to DM me if there is anything else I might be able to help with.
Good luck!
