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 seated warrior holds his spear steady while a wolf leans in at his shoulder and a bald eagle stands watch behind him. Three guardians in one frame. Carve this and you get the quiet intensity of the man's face, the weight of his beaded necklaces, and the soft layering of fur against feather. It reads like something that took a master carver a month to cut by hand. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean machining. The depth is generous, so the wolf's coat, the eagle's wing, and the braids all hold their shadow lines without muddying. It comes ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs well on a CNC router or a resin 3D printer. For wood I rough it with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then finish with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine texture in the feathers and the fur. Cut it into walnut or maple for a cabin wall, a lodge sign, a memorial plaque, or a standout gift for anyone drawn to Native American art and wildlife. This is an instant digital download, so you can be cutting toolpaths within the hour. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve it, sell the finished pieces at shows, or build it into custom commissions. Add it to your library and give your next project some real spirit.

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.
