Personally I like using a candle or keresene lamp and let the flame black the pieces. Then without smudging the black, set the pieces in place to show what wood still needs removing.

Are you using dry erase or pemenant markers? I use the dry erase (Blue and Black) and they will come off easy. The perm type doesn't work for me.

A dark piece of walnut can be a bear to see the inletting black at times. Sometimes you have to go the other way and use something white. I have had mixed results with chalk.

Yes, it was a dry marker, not a permanent one. One guy told me he used an light colored lipstick, but have not tried that.

Ol Flinter I've heard of others using lipstick to mark pieces. They say it works quite well also but I have never worked with walnut so I can only speculate. I would think that a bright pink would be best as it's quite visible.

I've used lipstick for spotting compound with good results. Unless you are the lady of the house, just be sure you have your wife's permission before you use it.

Use linseed oil . It will leave a "spot" that is very easy to see on dark or light woods. Use a Q Tip to apply a light coat.

I have used a gold colored product from Brownells with good results produced by kokopelli products called jerrow's
