Very Interesting Use Of Wood

My wife pointed me to this site about wooden bath tubs. She saw it on Martha Stewart.

I thought it was an interesting and creative use of wood.

Although not a bath tub, dad built a big watering trough for the cattle. It was made of 2 x 10 spruce or tamarack and the water came from a gravity fed spring house, 600 yards away. There was enough pressure from the 1" pipe that you couldn't hold it back with your hand. It ran all the time, none stop until it froze solid in winter. We used to put our hand on the pipe to try to spray one another or a passing cat. :D The same spring went to the barn to water the cattle by pale in their stalls in winter, even the house was on the same spring.

I have an old picture of the shelter over it, but you can't see the trough inside.

I've never seen another set up like that anywhere in my time. I'm sure others did it back in the old times.

Wooded tubs have been all the rage for years in VERY upscale baths, most I have seen were imported from Europe, beech I belive, and from Italy  or France at least the ones I've seen.
