About this design

A leather armchair sits at the edge of a river that seems to flow right out of the wood. Behind it, a stone cottage tucked under leafy trees, a little boat drawn up on the bank, a path winding down to the water. The whole thing looks like a hole punched through the panel into another world. Finish it well and people will lean in close, trying to figure out where the carving ends and the room begins. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for depth and drama. The layered scene reads from far away yet rewards a close look with leaf texture, shingled roof, water ripples, and the tufted buttons on the chair. It is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, so you can drop it into your CAM workflow without fuss. Run it on a CNC router in hardwood, MDF, or acrylic, or send it to a resin 3D printer for a crisp display plaque. For toolpaths, rough the panel with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover to clear the bulk fast, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at a 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine grain and shadow lines. Scaling it a bit larger gives the illusion more room to breathe. Make statement wall art for a living room, a centerpiece for a cabin or lake house, or a one-of-a-kind gift for a woodworker who likes a challenge. This is an instant digital download with commercial use included. Carve it, finish it with a stain wash to deepen the layers, and sell what you make. Add it to your cart and start your first cut tonight.

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.
