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 leaping bass breaks the surface at the top, a brassy reel and rod rest along the rim, and a heavy-bodied fish lies in the shoreline reeds below. The whole platter reads like a slab pulled straight off the lake, with a sunken serving bowl in the middle ringed by water ripple, cattails, and tackle. Carve it and you get the kind of piece an angler stops and stares at. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL with real depth built into it. The recessed center sits well below the raised fish and gear, so your toolpaths get clean separation and the shadows fall right where they should. The wood grain and live-edge texture are sculpted in already, which gives the finished carve that handworked lodge look. It opens and runs in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, ready for any CNC router. For a clean result, hog out the waste with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out the scales, the reel knurling, and the fine reed work. Adjust your depth of cut to suit your machine and your stock. Run it in walnut, oak, maple, or cherry and the relief really comes alive. Put it to work as a rustic serving tray, a charcuterie board, cabin wall art, or a one-of-a-kind gift for the fisherman in your life. This is an instant digital download with commercial use included, so carve it for yourself, build a batch for your shop, or hand one over as a gift. Download it now and get the chips flying.

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.
