Kinda, back here in this thread.

https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,47259.0.html

Basically, I drew up the outline I needed to carve out of the butternut. Then, carved out the butternut inlay shape with sharp carving tools. And I cut thin slices on my band saw for, walnut, cherry and birch. Then I cut the star corners out of those pieces, sometimes requiring a little touch up with the sanding table. Checked them for fit and depth in the inlay. Glued them up and sanded smooth and flush. I think the wood pieces started out as 3/16" or maybe 1/8" and probably ended up 1/16" when the medallion is sanded smooth and flush. I left the butternut about 1/16" thicker than the hole it sits in the cherry so everything would sand nice and flush with the cabinet top.  Always nice to have a little extra thickness to work with. ;)

There are other approaches, but my veneers where a bit thick so those methods would be difficult. Gotta work with what you have at times. ;D

Well, I've been putting my finishes on the cabinet and now I put in the glass shelves tonight, 8 mm.



This is the bracket used to mount the shelving. They have suction cups on the underside of the glass surface and can take up to 1/4" thick glass. Actually they can take a little thicker but I thick manufacturer recommendation at Lee Valley was for 1/4" or less. They are nice brackets. ;D



Putting the doors on tomorrow afternoon. Need one more coat of finish on the inside of them.

Those doors sure show a major optical illusion. They are not beveled or raised in any way, but it sure does look it. :D :D

There is nothing that compares to the results of beautiful wood in the hands of a craftsman.  That is stunning.
