Sixteen-Petal Floral Rosette Medallion

A sunburst bloom with sixteen plump petals. This is a round floral rosette carving — a ring of long, rounded teardrop petals radiating out from a raised central button, like a stylised daisy or chrysanthemum seen straight on. Each petal is domed and gently tapered, catching light along its spine, and the whole disc has a satisfying symmetry that makes it a versatile decorative medallion. The relief is smooth and generous rather than fussy, so it carves cleanly and reads well even at small sizes. Built for CNC and ornamental woodwork, it works as a rosette block for door and window casings, a corner or centre motif on cabinet doors, a ceiling boss, or a repeating appliqué along trim. Printed rather than routed, it makes a tidy drawer-knob face, coaster centre or magnet. Print / CNC notes: • The radial layout is friendly to a ball-nose finishing bit; a single spiral toolpath from the centre follows the petals naturally. • Keep the petal tips slightly rounded (not knife-edged) so they don't chip in softer woods. • For 3D printing, lay the flat back on the bed — no supports needed and the domed petals print smoothly. • Fine layer heights (0.12mm) or a light sand keep the domes looking hand-turned.
