## What is Cutting Board Designer?

Design beautiful end-grain cutting boards before you make a single cut. Lay out your strips, see the result in real-time 3D, and walk into the shop with a finished plan. AR mode allows you to place your cutting board on real life surfaces before creating. 

Cutting Board Designer is the planning tool every woodworker wishes they had. Stack wood species, set widths and angles, and the app calculates your cut list, slice count, blade kerf, and finished board size - automatically.
