I've never done anything like create a blank like this
and maybe never will but I am curious how it is done.
For $20 it has to be made in China because it looks
labor intensive. But what do they do? Put all the
scraps into a mold and inject it with epoxy? Seems like
it would take a lot of equipment to make something like
this, that for which there probably isn't a huge market.

The blocks are probably glued up as a sheet then cut into squares and
the squares are glued up to the finished block size. Or something
similar.

Roy Underhill had a guy on a while back that did inlay work. He would
take small pieces and glue them up just like you would do for a tabletop
then stacked the "panels" and glued them up. It went pretty easy and he
could get some very interesting patterns when they were cut apart. This
looks like the same process only with larger pieces.
