How the bench works, step by step
Every maker's evening runs the same loop: sketch, choose wood, check, cut. Here is how Rangezut Wildom follows it.
Sketch on the Board tab
- Choose 16², 24², 32² or 32×20 when you create a project.
- Start from Blank, Compass rose, Tumbling blocks, Chequer border or Photo.
- Switch between Paint, Fill, Erase, Pick and Grain.
- Set the brush from 1 to 4 cells and fix errors with undo and redo.
Choose wood in Swatches
- Search veneers by name or tap filter chips such as All, Light and Medium.
- Read each swatch by its two-letter code: HO Holly, MP Maple, WN Walnut, ZB Zebrawood.
- Tune a custom swatch with hue, figure density and contrast.
Check before the knife
- Live counts show Regions, Pieces and Warnings under the board.
- Fragile spurs, thin slivers and oversize pieces are flagged for you.
- Set grain direction, for example Grain 0°, so figure runs the way you want.
Cut with the Plan tab
- Read pieces by number, such as MP-01 or SY-09, with size in mm².
- Swipe a row right to mark it cut and watch the counter climb.
- See Leaves by species so you know how much veneer to pull from the rack.
Under the veneer: technical breakdown
Rangezut Wildom treats an inlay as a grid of cells. Each cell holds one veneer species, and neighbouring cells of the same species merge into a region. That is why the Board tab counts Regions first, then turns them into Pieces you can actually cut.
The Cutting Plan then nests numbered pieces onto veneer leaves. You see Pieces, Leaves, Waste percentage and total Cut length in metres in one strip. A Compass rose on a 24 by 24 grid, for example, reports 141 pieces on 6 leaves with 7.9 m of cutting.
Everything is computed and stored on the phone. The store description confirms there is no account, no subscription and no cloud requirement, so the workshop with poor signal is no problem. Version 1.2 focuses on interface polish and bug fixes.

Tools for the whole workshop
Six features that take a sketch from screen to saw table.
Realistic veneer figures
Straight grain, ray fleck, burl and bird's eye. Zebrawood shows its stripes, Walnut its wavy lines, and every swatch carries a code and a name.
Custom swatch editor
Tweak hue, figure density and contrast until the digital sample matches the leaf lying on your bench.
Starter patterns
Compass rose, Tumbling blocks and Chequer border give new makers a proven first board. Photo Trace turns a picture into a veneer plan.
Fragility warnings
The board flags fragile spurs, thin slivers and oversize pieces, so weak parts are fixed on screen and not on the cutting mat.
Nested cutting plan
Numbered pieces with sizes in mm are arranged on veneer leaves for minimum waste, with a Leaves by species summary.
