The wolf project came out well but you should see the scrap pile of failures I generated before I finally got it right! @Jules has a great PDF that helped me finally get that right. I can’t find it right now but I think I have the link saved at home so I’ll try to send that to you tonight if you can’t find it in the search bar (I think I was searching for “adjusting for kerf” or something similar. It just came down to a lot of testing with the material to get the kerf correct and then understanding how to properly adjust for it in the software, which the PDF guided me through really well. All in all, it probably took about 3 hours of me doing it completely wrong and 10 minutes of reading and understanding what @Jules wrote for me to get it right :). Just start with something simple first to get your bearings (and not burn through lots of expensive wood like I did!). Once you get it figured out there, it is super easy to apply to the more complex projects.
Edit: Found the link from Jules: Inkscape - Adjusting for Kerf in your Design
