Cutting Board Designer
From Idea to Cutting Board, All in One App.
Whether you’re making your first cutting board or planning your next complex end-grain design, Cutting Board Designer gives you the tools to visualize, customize, and organize your project.
Everything you need to plan a board
-
Edge Grain & End Grain Designs
Build face grain, edge grain, or end grain layouts from strips, or paint a checkerboard tile pattern cell by cell. Add a border, juice groove, handles, or rounded edges.
-
2D & 3D Previews
Watch your board update live in a detailed top-down view and a real 3D preview you can rotate, zoom, and inspect from every angle before you cut.
-
Wood Species & Patterns
Mix real hardwoods like walnut, maple, and cherry, then explore grain patterns and layouts until the combination looks right.
-
Cut Lists & Planning
Every design comes with an automatic cut list with rough and finished dimensions, plus step-by-step glue-up instructions to keep the build organized.
-
Material & Cost Estimation
Get board-feet and cost estimates for each species, with waste-percentage planning built in, so you know what to buy before you start.
-
My Lumber & Scrap Wood
Track the wood in your shop by species, size, cost, and location, then generate board options built entirely from the stock and offcuts you already own.
-
Workshop Mode
A focused, phone-first view made for standing at the bench: your cut list, build steps, and materials with checkboxes to track progress as you go.
-
Save Your Designs
Everything works offline with no account required. Create a free account to back up your projects and lumber inventory and open them on another device.
Use it your way
Planning a custom order
Design the board you have in mind, then paste your design link into the custom order form. I'll see exactly what you designed and use it as the plan for your board.
Building your own board
Plan your own build: the wood, the strip widths, the glue-ups, and how much lumber to buy. Then take the plan to your shop on a printed PDF or on your phone.
Built by a woodworker, for woodworkers.
Cutting Board Designer started with a simple challenge: finding an easier way to visualize a cutting board before cutting and gluing the wood. What began as a problem in my one-person shop in Washington State evolved into an app designed to make cutting board planning easier, more accurate, and more enjoyable.
It’s the same tool I use to plan the boards I build for The Kingsbury Workshop. If you’d rather have me build your board, send a request with your design link or just a rough idea.
