Pencil marks stay on the piece no matter how you work it

Pencil and chalk marks in Sawdust now follow the material through a cut. Each resulting piece retains its portion of the mark, clipped to the new edges.

You can use the marks to explain a cutting sequence without redrawing the layout after every operation. Inspect the resulting pieces to check which lines remain on each face.

Cut board pieces with layout marks retained on their faces.
