Estimates for a mid-size hobby machine (Shapeoko, X-Carve, Onefinity class). Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; for thinner stock scale Z on its own. Hardwoods with fine grain (cherry, hard maple, walnut, basswood) hold this detail best. Check your exact setup in Will it cut, free, nothing uploaded.

How we estimate carve time

Finishing is one raster pass over the whole carving with the ball nose shown, at 10% stepover and half of a 1,800 mm/min (71 in/min) feed. Roughing assumes about 45% of the block above the base is waste, cleared with the end mill shown at 40% stepover and 3 mm per pass (1.5 mm for the 1/8 in end mill) at the full feed. The model leaves out acceleration, tool changes and moves between passes, so a real job usually takes somewhat longer. Times are rounded to 5 minutes.

Opens directly in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and in any slicer for 3D printing. For a laser, the relief is first turned into a greyscale depth image, which our Laser Studio app does from this STL. STL only, no OBJ or DXF: the DXF files used in CNC work hold 2D outlines, not the 3D relief surface. Scale it to whatever panel you are cutting. Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; scale Z on its own for a shallower carve. How to open it in your software.

About this design

A bald eagle holds the high rock, talons locked into stone, eyes fixed on the valley below. Behind him the peaks rise sharp and a lone pine leans into the wind. Carve this one and you get that watchful stillness in wood, the kind of panel that stops people mid-step and pulls them in for a closer look. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The layered depth reads beautifully, from the crisp feather barbs across the wing to the broken texture of the rock and the soft fade of distant mountains. It runs smooth in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and the toolpaths come out tidy on a CNC router. It also works for resin and FDM 3D printing if you want a cast-look plaque. For a clean result, rough it with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then bring out the fine feather work and grain with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover. Slow the finishing feed a touch on hardwoods like walnut or maple and the detail really pops. Use it for cabin and lodge wall art, patriotic plaques, a carved sign for the hunting camp, or a standout gift for any eagle lover or outdoorsman. You get an instant digital download with commercial use included, so carve it, frame it, sell it at shows, or hand it over as a gift someone keeps for years. Resize it to fit your blank in your own software and send it to the machine. Add it to your cart, download the file, and put this eagle on the wall.

Have a laser too?

Burn this design, or burn onto it

Laser Studio opens this STL with zero conversion and turns them into a ready-to-burn 3D-illusion engrave. Carving on your CNC instead? CNC Match lines up a name, a date or shading on a photo of the finished piece, so the laser burns right onto the carving.
