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 weary cowboy leans into a quiet song, hat tipped low, guitar resting on his knee while his horse grazes behind him and a log cabin sits tucked among the pines. It is the kind of scene that carries a story in every shadow. Finished in wood, this one stops people mid-step and pulls them in close to read the grain. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for deep, layered carving. The foreground figure, the flowing mane of the horse, the weathered cabin boards, and that wall of tall evergreens all sit at different depths, so the toolpaths read with real dimension and clean transitions. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs nicely on a 3-axis CNC router. You can also adapt it for laser engraving or 3D printing if that is your setup. For the best surface, hog out the bulk with a 6mm end mill at forty percent stepover, then come back and finish with a 3mm ball nose at a tight ten percent stepover to pull out the fine detail in the face, the fern fronds, and the pine needles. Use it for wall art, a Western cabin sign, a music room centerpiece, or a one-off gift for the country picker in your life. This is an instant digital download, and commercial use is included, so carve it for yourself, sell the finished pieces at shows, or gift it to a friend who lives for old trail songs. Add it to your cart and put the chips on the floor.

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.
