Woodcarving patterns that you can download here are suitable for either chip carving style or relief making (high relief (alto-rilievo), mid-relief (mezzo-rilievo), low-relief (basso-rilievo, or French: bas-relief), and shallow-relief (rilievo schiacciato)).

Woodcarving patterns can be downloaded in 2D CAD file format (dwg) or in vector file formats (eps & svg). The BobsCNC E4 is an excellent choice to begin with. It has a 610 mm 圆10 mm cutting area and is supported using a SG20U rail system.

The bowl is 11' diameter and cut to 3-1/2' height. The 3D mode in the center of the weave is one that comes with Aspire clip-art. The chair cane weave pattern is a 3D model I created in Aspire. You can find good examples of weave patterns online by searching for Cane Weave and similar terms.
