I'm curious about your bit selection. I'm not convinced you'd get much detail with a 1/8" bit. The neck of the bird looks especially hard to carve

Looks great! What bits did you use?

I haven't carved it yet but I would use a 1/8" ball end mill.

Where did you get the 3D model from?
Jeff Talbot · March 06, 2026
The model was generated from a 2D image
What program did you use to create the image, carve file?

There is a new Easel feature in R&D to generate bas-relief type files. Would you be interested in getting on the list to test it when it's ready for users to try out?
