Why Charlies Bunion
Charlies Bunion is a rocky, exposed outcrop along the Appalachian Trail in the Smokies, reached by an eight-mile round-trip hike from Newfound Gap that’s one of the most popular day hikes in the park. A 1925 wildfire followed by a flood stripped the ridge down to bare rock, leaving the dramatic, nearly treeless summit views hikers see today.
Carved With the Same Appalachian Craft
Every piece starts with real elevation data turned into an accurate 3D model, then CNC-carved and hand-finished in black walnut, cherry, white oak, or ash — sourced locally in these same mountains where possible. Charlies Bunion’s bare, jagged rock carves in with sharp, dramatic detail against pale white oak.
