About
BentStudio is a browser-based design studio for timber and log buildings, from garden sheds and pergolas to cabins, larger sheds and timber barns.
- Design the structure: start from a timber-frame, post-and-beam or dovetail log-wall layout. Set dimensions, bays, roof form, trusses, dormers and lean-tos; the model updates as you go.
- Inspect the work: move between 3D, plans and elevations. Look closely at corners, notches, braces and individual members.
- Take it to the shop: save a revision and export a PDF drawing package with timber sheets, cut coordinates and an editable project file.
Runs in a desktop browser, with an offline HTML download included. Pricing: one Studio licence is CAD $199, paid once. No subscription.
BentStudio is a design and layout tool, not a structural engineering service.

DraftVano:
About
DraftVano is a browser-based timber-framing and cut-list planning tool for DIY builders, woodworkers and small workshops. Its six adjustable project builders cover media walls, garage tote racks, workbenches, bookcases, BBQ island frames and sauna frames, with millimeter or inch dimensions, 3D previews and board-quantity estimates. Users can review fixed-size PDF samples and buy configured blueprint PDFs; optional M-04 planning guidance is offered separately. A free one-dimensional timber cut-list calculator accepts piece lengths, quantities, stock length, blade kerf and end allowances, then suggests board layouts and provides CSV, print and share-link outputs without an account. Each calculation is limited to one timber section and stock length; its heuristic does not guarantee a globally minimum-waste layout. DraftVano supports planning and material estimation, not structural certification, two-dimensional sheet nesting or CNC/DXF production.
