About this design
Joseph and Mary cradle the Christ child beneath a radiant cross, while guardian angels bow their heads in prayer and two doves rest below on a bank of clouds. Down at the base, lilies bloom in deep, layered petals. The center stays open and calm, waiting for a name, a date, or a verse. Carve this in walnut and you end up with something that feels handed down rather than made yesterday.
This is a high-detail bas-relief STL with the sculpting already finished, so all you add is your own lettering before you cut. The depth is built in tiers, which keeps the faces, robes, wings, and flowers reading clean with rich shadow rather than mushing together. It is set up for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs well on a CNC router. For toolpaths, hog out the bulk with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover, then bring out the fine detail with a 3mm ball nose pass at roughly 10 percent stepover. Adjust your depth of cut to suit how rigid your machine is and what wood you are running. The open panel makes it a natural fit for memorial plaques, church dedications, baptism keepsakes, family name signs, and remembrance gifts.
