About this design
Two flags catch the same wind across 250 years. On the left, the Betsy Ross circle of stars waves over a Revolutionary tall ship cutting through colonial waters. On the right, the modern Stars and Stripes flies above an aircraft carrier and a city skyline, with fireworks bursting overhead. Carve this one and you hold the whole American timeline in a single panel, 1776 to 2026, the kind of piece people stop and stare at.
This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for deep, dramatic carving. The split-panel layout keeps the two eras distinct while the flowing flags, rigging, hull lines, and skyline give your toolpaths plenty to bite into. It comes ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs clean on a CNC router or a 3D printer. For the smoothest result, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then drop to a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover for the fine flag folds and the lettering on the banner. Walnut, oak, maple, or cherry all carry this design beautifully, and the bold relief reads well even from across a room.
Think commemorative wall art, a veteran tribute, a military appreciation gift, Fourth of July decor, or a once-in-a-generation 250th anniversary keepsake. This is an instant digital download with commercial use included, so you can carve it for your own wall or cut a whole run to sell. Grab the file, load your machine, and let the chips fly.
