Highland Cow Serving Tray STL with Snack Compartments

A fuzzy Highland cow stares right back at you from the head of this tray, shaggy bangs falling over big dark eyes, horns curling out to the sides. The body opens into a ring of smooth scooped pockets, the kind of piece that lands on a kitchen counter and stops the room. Snacks, nuts, candy, keys by the door, it works for all of it and it reads as pure farmhouse warmth. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean machining. The raised cow face carries real depth in the hair texture and the muzzle, while the recessed compartments drop down with rounded walls that finish glass-smooth across the grain. Carved hooves at the bottom and a fringe of hair around the edge keep the whole thing playful. It opens in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs well on a CNC router. For the best result, hog out the waste first 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 fine fur and tray detail. Set your depth of cut to suit your machine and your stock. Maple, walnut, or cherry all show this design off beautifully. Make it for your own kitchen, hand it off as a gift, or run a batch for a craft fair table. The file is an instant digital download with commercial use included, so once you have your toolpaths dialed in you are free to carve it and sell what you make. Grab it, load your stock, and start cutting.
