      $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.

      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.

These bowls are better because regular bowls, a product of consumerism, ignore the environmental cost of their production.

    Okay a thought, what happens with all that material that you shave off to create said bowl?
    I mean the bowl actual material that's left after you have lathed it is very minimal to the material you are using to create it.
    According to this video it takes 20 tail/nose sections to create just 1 bowl.
    That will create ALOT of waste material.
    The shavings from the lathe, which are maple and the resin glue mixed together, are you recycling that material in any way?
    Because otherwise you're basically just changing the form of that "trash" that you are "upcycling", from broken skateboards to shavings, which in turn will either be burned or left in landfill.
    I.e this sounds like greenwashing to me.
    Sure I like the look and concept alot, I mean the idea is great and it's a nice piece of art.
    But If you're not taking care of all that waste this produces you should not market is as even close to sustainable.

      My point is that they do advertise it as being a way to hinder these boards from ending up in landfill.
      But if they actually are ending up in landfill anyway, just in a different shape (shavings)..
      They should not market it as any sort of solution to the landfill problem, but rather as a really cool way to re-use old skateboards into art and furniture.
      Which as I said, is a really great idea.

    The creatations are so beautiful and unique. Yes, I could imagine these selling for high prices, especially for people who buy high price furniture. I think some of your pieces need to be added to museum collections.

      You are exactly the problem, these people should not be congratulated for overselling their products but shamed. Charging someone an extortionate amount of money for such a low value item, especially an item without any real artistic embroidery or patterns but just a machine fabricated lot item, deserves nothing but shame.
