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

Two horses lean in close at the top, ears forward, manes flowing like they just caught the wind off an open range. Below them sits the whole story of ranch life, a worn cowboy hat tipped with flowers, a pair of tooled leather boots, a wooden wagon, a spoked wheel, and a stubborn little cactus holding its ground. Carve this one and you get a piece that feels like it belongs over a tack room door or above a fireplace in a country home. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cuts and real depth. The layered subjects give you strong foreground shapes against the wood-grain backdrop, so the toolpaths read crisp and the shadows do the heavy lifting once it is finished and oiled. The file is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs nicely on a CNC router or a 3D printer. For the cleanest result, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at a 10 percent stepover to pull out the mane detail, the boot stitching, and the cactus ribs. Scale it to fit your blank and your machine settings. Good choices are walnut, maple, cherry, or a tight basswood panel. This is an instant digital download, so you can be cutting test passes within the hour. Commercial use is included, which means you can carve these for your own walls, run a batch of western signs for the booth, or build a one of a kind gift for the cowboy in your life. Download it, load it, and let the chips fly.

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.
