Hot Tub

[Scott Bernstein]

I'd like to build a wooden hot tub, about 6ft diameter. Any suggestions for type of wood? Ceder? Larch? Oak? Something else? Teak would probably be a little spendy.

Have you seen Felder's build-a-hot-tub video?

I did see the Felder video...that's part of my inspiration. I don't have a Felder 5-machine combo unit...but I do have a Hammer combo jointer-planer-horizontal mortiser. So 3/5ths is not bad... I'll be using my non-sliding table saw and router table, instead of the Felder slider and shaper.

White pine seems to work
