8 Γ— 2.6 in (203 Γ— 67 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 1.2 in, deeper than you need.

1/4 in ball nose (1/8 in for the finest detail, about twice as long), 10% stepover

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

🐊 Transform a block of timber into an heirloom kitchen companion that commands attention. Picture the tactile, scaly handle resting in your palm as you stir a hearty stew in the quiet warmth of a forest cabin. 🐊 Why You’ll Love This Design This functional sculpture transitions from a powerful, scaly tail into a muscular crocodile body that grips the spoon bowl with lifelike intensity. The intricate scale patterns create dramatic shadows and a premium depth that mimics a master hand-carved finish, making every stir a sensory experience. πŸ“ What You Receive This is a high-detail CNC woodcarving relief designed specifically for a two-sided machining process to create a full 300mm (11.8in) serving spoon. The package includes the necessary geometry to align side A and side B perfectly using dowel pin registration in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, or ArtCAM. Digital product only, no physical item will be shipped. 🍴 Meaningful Ways To Use It Elevate a rustic kitchen or mountain lodge with a piece of functional wildlife art that serves as a conversation starter. This project is the ultimate gift for a gourmet cook, a unique addition to a hunting lodge, or a centerpiece for a farmhouse table. πŸ› οΈ Carve With Confidence Engineered with clean element separation, the scaly hide and fluid transitions ensure professional results on your CNC router.
