Frame 3 way miter cuts are just glued, need accurate cuts to fit well and tricky glue up. I used a drop of CYA with wood glue and held against a square to position parts and tape to hold in place. The CYA holds well untill wood glue sets. Probably not strong for a larger piece but this was my first attempt. I made a couple test parts first and could not separate the glued up joint by hand.
And question about the diamond inlay, I used a double bevel cutting method on scroll saw if you are familiar with that, to get tight fit. The maple and bloodwood diamond are about 1/8 inch thick.
