Hey — I'm a designer and hobbyist woodworker who finally hit the wall. Every cut optimizer I tried felt built for engineers, not the shop: little care for grain, less thought for table saw safety, and no feel for how we actually cut.

So I built Precious Grain for the rest of us — a simple browser tool that respects your wood, your time, and your sanity.
