Turning a bowl on a lathe is he simplest thing in the fucking world. A fucking high school shop project. For some reason it's always these fat boomers in plaid shirts who act like they're carving a Victorian writing desk.

That's boomers for you. Did nothing harder than high-school shop for fifty years, used up every last bit of rare and fine material, then rush to stroke each other's wrinkly ball-sacks and fleck the face of a young OP with whatever desiccated spittle they can hock up.

It takes skill and experience to select the wood and cure it so that it does not split, and to turn it so that the bowl is strong yet light and has a nice contour. You sound like a jealous millenial who is bitter about your failed life.

So I'll give you a tip then:

1. Southern Baptists are mostly middle class or poor
2. They, and most devout Christians, don't fetishize Grail mythology, which is very pagan in character

If you wanted to exploit those redneck rubes who live in your head, more money could be made by carving that ancient wood into attractive kreuze, to be hung on a wall either naked or framed.

But don't expect fat dumb boomers to do that. It requires effort and skill, and can't be cranked out in twenty minutes on a lathe.

>>1630029
There are legitimate criticisms of the current system, but even with its flawed implementation, fiat is functionally much better than commodity-backed money as a currency. It lets the money supply adjust to meet demand, and does not peg the value to a commodity whose value itself fluctuates, meaning that prices are more stable. The longstanding inflation rate of a few percent a year is the result of deliberate policy that incentives investment over savings, and fiat allows whatever long-term value trends are desired by the regulatory agency. Commodity money in a growing economy tends to be deflationary, which is a Very Bad Thing because it makes stuffing money in a mattress (or whatever) a viable investment with positive returns. Which reduces spending, which reduces production and employment, and shifts the economy to a less-prosperous mode of operation. All the gold ever mined by humanity isn't close to enough to back the US Dollar alone at current gold prices, which makes the gold standard impossible to implement in the current economy.

Gold standard is a Jewish meme.

Fiat currency, when managed properly, is great. Just read Franklin's writing on the subject. Or look at the economic miracle of National Socialist Germany. The problem isn't that we have a centralized authority that manages the money supply. The problem is that it's managed by Jews.

The real issue is that the """""finished""""" product looks like a blank that's meant to have with some interesting carvings or engravings or something. Instead, he just does the most low-effort thing possible. It's literally the simplest shape, the most obvious size, the most neutered color, and then someone buys it. For a lot of money. A LOT.
The maker is a lazy dullard and the people who shell out for this are worse.
Oh wait, that would be the people here, on /diy/ who want to advocate for this.
Awful, I'm disappointed in everyone trying to excuse this.
p.s. acceptable alternatives include, but are not limited to: sculpture, frames, furniture, plates, trim and fittings for the house, models (like sailing ships), utensils, gun furniture. Feel free to add others as you like.
