Thanks in advance for reading and providing input, I'm somewhat new here (just found this site a few months ago) and this is my first post I believe...anyways, I'm about to start my first slab that's going to need a few inlays and epoxy on some of the cracks as well, I'm just not 100% sure on whether I should put inlays in some places or if I could just epoxy and move forward. This slab is going to be made into a coffee table, I'm going to square off the ends and keep the remainder of the slab together, so that being said, below are pictures and what I'm thinking, but your experience would be creatively appreciated! Thanks again!
Number 1: the crotch of the tree, this is what will be the top side, the bottom is less than 4" in length, I'm not sure if I should put an inlay in each end of this spot or if I should just fill it with epoxy and finish it off, or do something else?

Number 2: small crack on the slab, i think this is an epoxy and let be

Number 3: edge cracks
First, this has 2 one may need one the other not because it doesn't hit the surface?

Next, maybe an inlay on the surface, or on the edge?

Third, going to guess this one needs an inlay on the edge?

Fourth, these should just be epoxy, right?

Last, this one, little crack on the top, bottom crack likely needs an inlay, true?
