Free Nature & Floral CNC Relief Heightmaps

Flowers, leaves, and botanical reliefs are the pieces people actually hang in the house. A sunflower, a rose, an oak leaf, a tree of life, they work as standalone wall art or as a carved accent on a cabinet door or a headboard. These are 16-bit grayscale heightmaps, the format your CAM software wants for a true 3D relief, not a flat V-carve. Download, scale to your board, and cut. Free, no account, no gate.

Project ideas for nature & floral reliefs

  • Wall art and framed pieces
  • Cabinet door and drawer-front accents
  • Wedding and anniversary gifts
  • Headboard and furniture inlays

Wood: Cherry and maple show off the soft petal transitions. Poplar and basswood are cheap and forgiving for a first pass.

Finish: Keep it light. A matte or satin finish reads more natural on florals than a high gloss.

Bits: A 1/4" ball nose for roughing and a 1/16" tapered ball nose for the petal edges and veins.
