AI-Powered Woodworking Design Assistant for Irregular Materials

The user is making a console table from highly spalted (patterned) historical wood and is struggling with aesthetic design decisions, such as orientation and where to make cuts while preserving desirable features (like knots) and minimizing flaws (like deep valleys or cracks). This indicates a need for advanced visualization and optimization tools for unique woodworking projects. A software product opportunity exists for an AI-powered design assistant for woodworking, specifically tailored for irregular or highly figured wood pieces. This tool could allow users to upload images of their wood, then simulate different cuts and orientations, providing aesthetic and structural recommendations. Expected benefits include simplifying complex design decisions, maximizing material beauty, and reducing waste for woodworkers.
