Enter the lumber you actually have and generate a realistic cutting board idea based on your available stock, including suggested wood combinations, pattern style, finished dimensions, and build details.
Add the boards you have on hand. Use rough real-world dimensions in inches. The generator will use your stock to suggest a cutting board that makes sense.
Tip: you do not need perfectly exact numbers. This tool is meant to help you generate realistic ideas from the stock you already have.
Enter your lumber above and click Generate Design to get a stock-aware cutting board idea.
This tool uses the wood species, lengths, widths, thicknesses, and quantities you enter to suggest a cutting board that fits your stock more realistically. It looks at your shortest usable length, your total available strip width, and your material thickness to recommend a board style and approximate finished dimensions.
It is not meant to replace a full cut list or exact yield calculation. Instead, it gives you a strong starting point that makes more sense than a totally random board idea.
Does this calculate exact yield?
No. It gives a helpful planning suggestion based on your input, but you should still account for milling, saw kerf, snipe, cleanup cuts, and glue-up waste.
Can this suggest end grain boards?
Yes, but it will lean more toward end grain when your thickness and stock mix make that idea more realistic.
What if I only have one species?
The generator can still give you a good single-species board idea with dimensions and a suitable pattern direction.
