About this design
A single hand, pierced and pressed against rough cross timber, fingers curling toward the nail. It is one of the quietest, heaviest images in the Christian story, and carved in wood it stops people in their tracks. The grain in the beams, the strain in the tendons, the worn edges of the cross all come through with the kind of depth that makes folks reach out and touch it.
This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The sculpting holds its detail in the knuckles and the splintered wood of the cross, so your toolpaths read sharp instead of muddy. It runs straight into Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it cuts well on a CNC router in hardwood, MDF, or acrylic. It also prints nicely on an FDM or resin 3D printer and works for deep laser engraving with the right settings. For best results, rough the panel with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to bring up the fine grain and the tension in the fingers. Use it for church wall panels, prayer room decor, crucifix plaques, or a meaningful gift for someone of faith.
You get an instant digital download the moment you check out, with commercial use included, so you are free to carve it, print it, and sell what you make. Add it to your library and put this one to the router. It is the kind of piece people remember.
