About this design

Picture a wrinkled old gnome leaning into his lyre, fingers mid-pluck, while a wide-eyed mouse rises up on its hind legs to listen. There is a whole folktale packed into this little scene, and when it comes off the spoilboard in walnut or maple, the expression on that gnome's face carries it. This is the kind of piece people pick up off the wall to look closer. What you get is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The depth is generous, so the pointed cap, the strings of the lyre, and the soft fur on the mouse all read with real shadow and dimension. Toolpaths run smooth with no fussy islands to fight. It is tested and ready in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it carves beautifully on a CNC router or prints clean on a 3D printer. For best results, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent to pull out the fine grain and facial detail. Turn it into framed wall art, a cottagecore plaque, nursery decor, or a one-of-a-kind gift for the gnome lover and folklore fan in your life. This is an instant digital download, so you can have it loaded into your software within minutes. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve it, sell the finished pieces at shows or online, and gift them to whoever needs a bit of woodland magic. Download it, fire up the machine, and let the gnome start playing.

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.
