I suspect there’s black mastic* involved. In other words, the black background is done last. Just guessing, but the circles could be prepared as cylindrical sticks and then sliced. First step would be to glue down one colour’s circle as a whole into a channel cut in the backing surface (the top), chisel out two cross channels for the next circle, which would also have to be cut in two places to allow the appearance of interlock with the initial circle, and glue down the second color. The final circle would require the most cuts. Then once all the circles are glued down, fill in the background with black mastic or some other kind of viscous filler (epoxy?). Just a guess, in truth I have no idea how he does it. His workmanship is impeccable and reminds me a bit of what my nephew is doing (he’s just starting out but has extensive cabinetry experience). Or….could be a sticker…. *mastic, not magic.
