Lumber Board Foot & Cut List

Plan a lumber purchase and a cut list in one place — enter the boards you have and the parts you need, and get board feet, cost, and a cut layout for each board with saw kerf and trim accounted for.

Whether you're buying rough stock at the sawmill or breaking down boards in the shop, this app replaces the scrap-paper math and the guesswork about how many boards to buy.

Key Features

- Board foot calculator: Standard T x W x L / 12 formula with 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 8/4 thickness presets.
- Cut layout per board: See exactly which parts come out of which board, drawn to scale.
- Saw kerf and trim: Every cut consumes kerf, and board ends get trimmed — both are subtracted before parts are placed.
- Feet-inch-fraction input: Type 3 1/2 or 3.5, whichever you use on site. Comma decimals work too.
- Cost and tax: Enter a price per board foot to get material cost with tax.
- Offcut list: See what is left on each board so you can plan the next job around it.
- Project history: Save up to 20 projects locally and reload one as the start of a new job.
- Works offline: Every calculation, diagram and save runs on the device. No account, no network.

Recommended For

- Woodworkers and cabinetmakers planning a cut list before buying stock
- Anyone buying rough lumber by the board foot at a sawmill or yard
- Shop owners estimating material cost for a build

The cut layout places the longest parts first. It is a workable layout, not a proven optimal one — a different order may waste less. This app does not judge structural strength or lumber grade. Always test-fit before cutting.
