Here's the finished cut! Not sure if the antlers will come out they are awfully thin. Just finished gluing and in a press results tomorrow.

8mm seems awfully deep for an inlay. Is there a reason you need it to be so deep?

Here is the deer finished. Not too bad, at the very tip of the left antler a minute gap

You can see some chip out in a few places on the plug in your pre glue up shots. I wonder if a new v-bit or less aggressive settings could get better results on those antlers.
