People spent millions (maybe billions) on pet rocks, I'm sure there is
a customer base for 'personalized art'. Who wouldn't throw in an
extra $20 for a little spot to store Junior's first clipping?

I couldn't see myself buying one, no matter what the price! Who would want
one besides the stuck up rich? Maybe that's why such a piece of artistic
junk is priced so high?

No problem, wait for the yard sale, and get one for maybe a dollar,
tops.

It *is* kind of a neat idea, though I wonder why they don't offer a
hollowed version as a sort of goblet, or possibly lidded box. And, of
course, a hundred and fifty bucks is pretty steep. I'm gently amused at
the careful desciption of how much work is involved, and how much wood is
removed, and how long it takes for the finish to dry, as if to justify the
price...
