About this design

A mother humpback rises through a swirl of blossoms while her calf curves below, both bodies traced with flowing floral scrollwork. The finished carve has the warmth of an old hand-tooled panel, the kind of piece that stops people mid-conversation and pulls them in for a closer look. Ocean and garden meeting in one frame, soft shadows pooling in every petal. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The depth is generous, so the whale reads boldly while the fine botanical work stays crisp under the tool. It is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs nicely on a CNC router or a resin 3D printer. For a smooth result, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at a tight 10 percent stepover to pull out the flowers and the texture in the fins. Carve it into coastal wall art, a beach house plaque, a nautical sign, or a layered gift for someone who loves the sea. Walnut, maple, and oak all suit it well, and it scales up or down without losing the detail. Download it the moment you check out and get cutting. Commercial use is included, so carve it for your own walls, build a small batch for a craft fair, or sell finished pieces in your shop. This is the kind of design that earns its place on the wall and keeps customers coming back. Add it to your library and put it on the machine.

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.
