I like to relax in a heated bath at the end of the day. The idea of a grey porcelain or plastic bathtub didn’t appeal to me. They are gross, predictable plus hard to clean. I decided I wanted a wooden bathtub created on its own to match the modern, minimalistic interior concept of my home. There is a pleasant smell to wood plus it diffuses sound. I knew it would greatly add to my bath process plus the aesthetics of the bathroom. I contacted a custom furniture craftsman to create a design plus construct my ideal bathtub. While the cost of the handcrafted wooden bathtub was a lot more high-priced than a conventional alternative, the natural beauty plus uniqueness was worth it. Because wood is easy to work with, the bathtub was able to be set up in the shape of my choosing. I decided on a boat-style shape plus wanted it to be much larger plus deeper than a usual tub. I wanted to be submerged plus able to comfortably soak. The custom craftsman absolutely used boat building ideas to create a solid wood tub that looks fantastic plus is also hardy. She incorporated over a hundred individual pieces of sustainably harvested sapele wood, which is undoubtedly high-end wood similar to mahogany. There is an invisible fiberglass film, plus the piece is varnished with six coats to protect the integrity of the wood. The overflow is concealed in an interior rim, where the water then drains to the bottom. When the sunshine shines into the bathroom, the wooden tub illuminates like a stone.
