Star and Cross Pierced Roundel

Two interlaced triangles guarding an upright cross. This carved roundel sets a bold six-pointed star — two overlapping triangles woven over and under each other in raised relief — at its heart, with a slender upright cross standing dead centre. A softly scalloped garland of leaves and buds wraps the outer ring, and the background is pierced clean through so the star and cross appear to float within the frame. The imagery is devotional and heraldic at once, equally readable as a Star of David, a mystic seal, or an ecumenical emblem. Makers reach for designs like this as a faith-themed wall plaque, a door medallion, or a quiet decorative panel for a study or prayer corner. Print notes • On the CNC, cut the interlacing with care: the over-under weave needs the star's bars at slightly different heights, so a two-level finishing strategy sells the illusion. • Clear the pierced background first, then round the raised ribbons with a ball-nose. • For 3D printing, lay it flat, motif up, no supports; a stone- or bronze-fill filament with a dark wash sinking into the recesses looks convincingly cast. • Add a keyhole or two on the back plane for flush wall hanging.
