Chief portraits in full headdress, warriors on horseback, spirit scenes with wolves and eagles, buffalo on the plains and dreamcatchers. These are among the most detailed reliefs in the catalogue, because a headdress is hundreds of individual feathers and beads, and the faces are sculpted with real character rather than a generic profile.

They are best carved large, 350 mm and up, in walnut, cherry or mahogany, where a dark glaze brings out every feather. The dreamcatchers and single-animal pieces work smaller. The cutter guide explains why this detail wants a tapered ball nose, and the "looks flat" guide shows how to keep the depth in a portrait when you scale it.

Questions about native american files

What cutter do the headdress designs need?
A 1/16 inch tapered ball nose at 300 mm and up; a 1/32 inch for the face and beadwork if you carve below that.
Which wood suits these portraits?
Walnut, cherry and mahogany for a rich, dark result. The wood guide compares eight species on one design.
What do I get when I buy a file?
A high-resolution STL of the relief, supplied at full depth so it scales cleanly, with an instant download link by email and in your account. Every file includes a commercial licence: carve and sell as many finished pieces as you like. Reselling or sharing the file itself is the only thing the licence does not allow.
Which software and machines do these work with?
Any CAM package that imports STL: Vectric VCarve and Aspire, Carveco, Fusion 360, Easel Pro, Carbide Create Pro and others. They carve on any CNC router, slice for resin or FDM printers, and convert to grayscale for laser engravers. Our software comparison explains what each package does with a relief.
