AHC: Create an American conservative movement symbolized by a hardwood lumber product

I have been pondering the idea of an American conservative movement symbolized by fine hardwoods. I envision it as a reaction to rise of the New Deal, which these conservative would view as a false or "plastic" political movement. Hence, they elevate items made from basic hardwoods to represent them. Eschewing modern, as true conservatives conveniences, they fixate on the basic and the mundane of the home. Among the items they glorify--and mock the New Dealers with--is the common toilet seat. This intimate but common item becomes most important symbol of their movement, and it gives the movement their name, "The Birch John Society."

How does The BJS become a vibrant conservative movement in America? I think the emphasis on natural hardwoods could to some extent co-opt the environmental movement. The group should be at the heart of American conservative thinking and not just a splinter group.

I want to say a bundle of sticks around an axe but hear it's already been taken by another right wing group...
 
Fasces were a common symbol in the United States representing its republican roots. There are fasces in the House, in the insignia of The Bureau of the National Guard, and on the back of the Mercury dime, among other places. It would not be seen necessarily as a reaction to "fancy" New Deal big government that the BJS opposes.
