Built-ins from a photograph
Measure once.
Cut with a list.
Photograph a closet, pantry, or media wall. Enter the opening. Kerf drafts millwork schemes and hands you the plywood, hardware, and assembly.
White oak · shaker · 8-foot reach-in
Photograph the niche
Stand back so both jambs, the floor, and the header are in frame. A phone photo is enough — Kerf reads it with your tape measurements.
Enter true dimensions
Width, height, and depth — the smallest of three measurements. Kerf drafts to the eighth-inch.
Pick a millwork scheme
Several layouts built from your opening, style, and features. Elevations, not mood boards.
Walk out with a shop list
Plywood sheets, a nested cut diagram, hardware, and assembly notes you can print.

Shop drawings
Elevations you can build from
Kerf is not a furniture catalog. It is a cut list with a drawing attached: sheet nesting on 4×8 plywood, hardware counts, and a sequence that starts with measuring the opening twice.

Pocket screws, Euro hinges, and iron-on banding. No cabinet software. No account required to draft. Sign in if you want the photo read by Grok and a photoreal concept of the scheme in your room.
