A browser-based tool turns artwork and lumber measurements into frame dimensions, miter cut lists, and estimates of what boards to buy.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.
For
DIY frame makers and woodworkers
Worth noticing
Cut-list fractions can be exact to 1/64 inch when possible; the tool distinguishes a lumber-buying plan from a layout optimizer.

Field notes

The inputs let a builder describe mixed board sizes, quantities, rough or surfaced stock, and different canvas-support designs. Its buying plan uses the blade width and allows for cutting and cleanup, while the separate linear estimate can include kerf; neither is presented as a defect-aware board layout. The page cautions users to verify actual seller dimensions and account for knots, splits, twist, bow, and cutting sequence.
