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 big bull moose looks out from the treeline, antlers spread wide against a jagged mountain peak. Carve this one in walnut or maple and you get that quiet north-woods feeling locked into a single panel: the river bend, the spruce, the heavy shoulders of an old bull who has seen a few hard winters. It is the kind of piece that stops people in a cabin hallway. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean, layered carving. The depth is staged so the foreground rocks and pines read sharp while the moose head sits proud in the middle ground and the mountains fade soft behind. Fur, antler grain, and bark all hold their detail when you run a proper finishing pass. The file is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs well on a CNC router, a resin or FDM 3D printer, or a laser set up for depth work. For the cleanest result, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine texture. Scale it to whatever your blank allows, from a small plaque to a full lodge sign. Think wall art, hunting camp decor, mantel panels, or a gift for the outdoorsman in your life. Download the file the moment you check out and start cutting today. Commercial use is included, so carve it for yourself, build a batch for craft fairs, or sell finished panels at your shop. One solid file, endless wood to feed it.

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.
