Cutting List Form Guide

Overview

This guide will help you accurately complete our cutting list form to ensure you receive the exact timber pieces needed for your project. Follow these four simple steps to submit your order.

Important: All measurements must be in millimetres and follow the format: Thickness × Width × Length

Step 1: Design Your Project

Create your woodworking project design using any method you prefer – sketches, CAD software, or detailed plans. While we don’t need to see your design, having clear dimensions for each component is essential for the next steps.

What you need: Final dimensions for every piece of timber in your project.

Step 2: Create Your Component List

2.1 Measure Each Piece

List every component with its finished dimensions in this format: Thickness × Width × Length (in millimetres)

2.2 Group Similar Pieces

Organize identical pieces together to make form completion easier.

Example Project Components:

6 legs: 65mm × 65mm × 700mm
2 side panels: 19mm × 370mm × 500mm
2 shelves: 19mm × 434mm × 390mm
1 back panel: 19mm × 348mm × 500mm
1 top panel: 19mm × 1220mm × 600mm

Tip: Double-check your list to ensure no pieces are missed.

Step 3: Complete Our Cutting List Form

3.1 Required Information

For each component, provide:

Quantity: How many pieces needed
Dimensions: Thickness × Width × Length (in millimetres)
Timber Species: Specify your preferred wood type
Component Name: Brief description (e.g., “legs”, “top panel”)

3.2 Wide Panel Options

If you need panels wider than our standard stock widths:

Option 1: Break down the width

Example: For a 600mm wide panel in walnut (if we stock 170mm wide boards)
Enter: 4 pieces at 170mm wide

Option 2: Request full width

Enter the full width required
