Haha I actually did use a knife to scribe a dent to place the saw at to help me start the cuts but I just suck at sawing 😂 And yes I will use a thinner wood next time, this was just because it was the only piece I could easily get square to start with. The miter saw we have on loan has the shittiest blade so I couldn’t cut up a thinner board to use. I’d definitely do some patching up if I were to use this for something but this is just a practise piece and I want to just leave it as is to look back on if I ever get better 😂

I think you are rocking this!!!
I'm going to assume that your technique for sawing is perfect. 😀 But saw's are always rough. So, saw further inside your line - maybe 1mm. Then use the chisel for finishing the cut.
I'm still amazed you got it that good on the first round. Treat that as a success!!
You should have seen me, I tried everything in my power and kept changing between chisel, saw, knife and box cutter to try and get even lines 😂
I've been there. I feel your pain/sorrow/frustration.
Soon enough, you'll be making some of these.
