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 big largemouth bass breaks the surface with its mouth wide open, water splashing off its tail, while pines and a snow-capped peak rise in the background. Any angler who sees this carved in wood knows the feeling. That split second when the fish hits and the rod loads up. This is the kind of panel that stops people in a lodge hallway and gets them talking about the one that got away. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built to show off depth. You get the muscled body of the bass, the fan of the fins, the ripple of the lake, and that layered mountain treeline behind it. It runs clean in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it is ready for a CNC router, a 3D printer, or laser engraving once converted. For the cleanest result on a router, 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 splash, and the fine needles on the firs. Carve it into wall art, a cabin sign, a tackle room centerpiece, or a panel for a boat house. This is an instant digital download, so you can have it on the machine tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve these, list them, and sell them at shows or in your own shop. Grab the file, load your stock, and make something an outdoorsman will hang with pride or hand off as a gift.

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.
