πŸ“ Design facts
Carving it at your size
Carving size
4.7 Γ— 8 in (120 Γ— 203 mm)
Suggested depth
0.27 to 0.34 in (6.8 to 8.5 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 0.65 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
0.75 in or thicker
Rough with
1/8 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/16 in tapered ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 3 h 20 min (roughing 25 min, finishing 2 h 50 min)
Carving size
7.1 Γ— 12 in (180 Γ— 305 mm)
Suggested depth
0.40 to 0.50 in (10.2 to 12.8 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 0.98 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/8 in ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 3 h 35 min (roughing 25 min, finishing 3 h 10 min)

At the full 0.98 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Carving size
10.6 Γ— 18 in (270 Γ— 457 mm)
Suggested depth
0.60 to 0.76 in (15.4 to 19.2 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 1.5 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/8 in ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 8 h 30 min (roughing 1 h 20 min, finishing 7 h 10 min)

At the full 1.5 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Carving size
14.2 Γ— 24 in (360 Γ— 610 mm)
Suggested depth
0.80 to 1 in (20.3 to 25.4 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 2 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/4 in ball nose (1/8 in for the finest detail, about twice as long), 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 9 h 25 min (roughing 3 h 5 min, finishing 6 h 25 min)

At the full 2 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Carving size
17 Γ— 28.9 in (433 Γ— 733 mm)
Suggested depth
0.80 to 1 in (20.3 to 25.4 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 2.4 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/4 in ball nose (1/8 in for the finest detail, about twice as long), 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 13 h 40 min (roughing 4 h 25 min, finishing 9 h 15 min)

At the full 2.4 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Estimates for a mid-size hobby machine (Shapeoko, X-Carve, Onefinity class). Board and time are for the suggested depth. In Aspire, VCarve or Carveco, unlock Z from X and Y when you import and type the depth; keep the base height at 0. 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

🎣 Catch The Moment Of The Strike In Timeless Wood Imagine the raw power of a trophy bass lunging from the reeds, captured in a deep-relief carve that brings the energy of the lake directly into your workshop. This design is engineered to transform standard timber into a high-end gallery piece that tells a story of the great outdoors. 🌊 Why You’ll Love This Design This composition features a legendary largemouth bass frozen in a dynamic leap, surrounded by explosive water splashes, delicate lily pads, and towering cattails. Every scale, fin, and water droplet is masterfully sculpted to create deep shadows and a tactile, hand-finished aesthetic that looks incredible when finished with oil or wax. πŸ“ What You Receive You will receive a premium, high-detail bas relief STL file with all artistic sculpting complete and ready for your machine. Simply import it into Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, or ArtCAM to begin setting your toolpaths for a professional CNC woodcarving relief project. Digital product only, no physical item will be shipped. πŸ›Ά Meaningful Ways To Use It This design serves as a breathtaking centerpiece for a rustic fishing lodge, a personalized lake house sign, or a signature gift for a dedicated angler.

Opens in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and on any CNC router, 3D printer or laser that reads STL. No OBJ or DXF: a DXF holds flat 2D outlines and cannot carry a three-dimensional relief. Model size as supplied: 433 x 733 x 60 mm (17.0 x 28.9 in) Shape: portrait, 0.59:1 Relief depth: 60 mm, which is 13.8% of the width Mesh: 2,023,518 triangles, 96.5 MB Base: flat and at zero, ready to machine Recommended minimum carve size: 300 mm, where 98.1% of the fine detail survives a 3 mm ball nose. Smaller carves soften the finest details. Scale it to your own panel. Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; scale Z on its own for a shallower carve.

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.
