Jim, I was playing around tonight making an inlay with your technique. I didn't notice it until I started drilling my pilot hole that the hole would be apparent in the inlay. Looking at your pictures you do a good job of hiding the hole in the finished product. Do you just use the saw dust and glue method to hide it also? Sorry but I'm new to the process.

 Picture number eight shows drilling the starter hole at an angle.  About 6.6° for me.  This puts the hole just inside the waste at the top and the bottom.  Before learning this, yes I filled the starter hole with the glue/sanding powder mixture.
