    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.

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.

    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.
