Glad for advice on getting mitered corners more precise, I ended up with little gaps using both a table saw crosscut sled and miter saw. I think part of the issue is holding the small pieces of wood totally still.

It might be the camera angle, but those faces might be throwing off the miters. If you're aiming for perfect miters, starting with planed reference surfaces is a must. The alternative is what was mentioned above: cut proud and sneak up on it.

I think what you're seeing is that I'm still getting the hand of trimming the splines flush with a chisel and left some unevenness of the surface. But good to double check.
