... And they're wooden also!
My first successful attempt at this design came out OK (Diamonds), but I wanted to get the pattern thinner to avoid the need for a 2-sided appearance.
The first inlay (2-sided pattern, previous thread) was about .352" thick. This 3-sided inlay is about .265" thick for each section. I just needed more practice getting the triangles smaller, the diamonds/squares were not the problem.
The 5 layer bands were supposed to duplicate the Black/Maple/Walnut/Maple/Black theme for the inlay, but you can't notice the middle being walnut vs black. And I screwed up sizing the end caps, but I'm still happy with the results.
