      It’s because of the process and how much time the brothers spend on making the product. If it was on a factory line, I’d agree with you; $400 for a machine made object is nuts; but it’s man made so that’s why the price is so high. Plus supply and demand also play a huge role in how much the product is sold.

      $400 isn't a lot when you factor in the time, know how, resources, etc. This isn't an assembly line product. Each bowl is a unique piece of functional art that's of high quality. They make a limited number(likely cuz it creates a lot of byproduct) so the price reflects that.

      Woodworking takes time, skill, materials and tools all of which need to be compensated for. For a hand turned bowl, $400 is not an insane price, especially considering the unique look and story behind it. You might not be willing to pay for it, but there are people who will. Beyond that they are taking a "waste" product and removing it from the waste stream.

      @@mma8208 handcrafted items that require two weeks of labor on up-cycled trash do not represent "consumerism"... That's the antithesis of consumerism. You're paying the REAL COST of a product, not the deflated cost of mass production. It's reducing the amount of waste, not increasing it. These bowls are better because regular bowls, a product of consumerism, ignore the environmental cost of their production. You pay $5, the landfill, plastic waste, and pollution make up the other $350.
      It means consumers really get to see what the normal things in their life cost, not the very cheap cost of environmentally devastating mass production.

      Man once you realize how much these big companies pollute you are like a spec. Corporate pollution is what's wrong.

    I worked at a construction debris transfer station a few years back as an equipment operator. Basically all day long I would load up trailers with all manner of debris brought in 40yard roll off dumpsters that were at construction sites full of everything it takes to build a house. The amount of wood alone that we throw away on a daily basis is alarming. I would see perfectly fine 2x4, plywood, tile, roofing debris and all sorts of nails, screws etc being thrown out like trash. We weren’t allowed to keep any of it either. It all went to the landfill. I don’t understand how this is sustainable.
