Jezero Crater, Mars is pictured here carved into eastern red cedar. What part of the solar system would you like to see carved? Made by me @ [woodgrainterrain.com]

https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/Magellan don't know how well you can use that, but it's raw data. Someone might be able to turn it into a 3d file but not me, I have no coding knowledge

edit: this might be more what you are looking for https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search/map/Venus/Magellan/Venus_Magellan_LeftLook_mosaic_global_75m

Thanks for taking the time to post these links. A global mosaic at 75 meter resolution is pretty low quality. In comparison, most of Mars has 10 meter resolution available, and the absolute best models of Earth are 1 meter. There just isn't enough info in the 75 meter scans to make very good carvings.
