My name is Joe Cunningham.
I am an avid motorcyclist and in 1993, moved to the mountains of North Carolina where I could ride the winding roads
and enjoy the scenery along the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway.

I grew up in Cumberland, Maryland where I was introduced to woodturning in High School.
Woodturning is now my full-time hobby and passion.
I started turning only bowls, then natural edge bowls, and have now moved on to vases, and hollow forms.
Each one of my pieces is hand crafted; No two are exactly alike.
Please see my page showing the bowl making process.

I harvest local timber for all my turnings as I'm fortunate to live in a rural area where beautiful trees and woods are plentiful.
I enjoy working with the more interesting woods and rare burls, but get the most enjoyment in looking for the "Wabi-Sabi" in the imperfect and aged woods.
"WABI" is the kind of perfect beauty that is caused by just the right kind of imperfection, which reflects the handmade craftsmanship.
"SABI" is the kind of beauty that can come only with age.
Together, "Wabi-Sabi" is finding the beauty in nature's imperfection -- things incomplete, modest, and unconventional.
The design of each piece changes to reveal the best grain, the intricate details, and the Wabi-Sabi.

Each piece is branded with my initials, JC, type of wood, serial number, and the year created.
All are then meticulously sanded, sealed and finished to show their true beauty.
Buy one for yourself and remember, they make great one-of-a-kind gifts for any occasion!

I will continue to be a vendor at various Arts & Crafts fairs. Please visit my page of Upcoming Events/Displays.
Thank you for visiting . . . Come back often to see the latest "INCREDI-BOWL" creations!
