This bathtub is handcrafted from Jarrah timber, valued for its deep red tones and strength. Built with coopered staves in a barrel-inspired form, the oval design highlights precision joinery and a radiating sunburst pattern across the base. The smooth, polished finish enhances the timber’s natural richness, creating a piece that is both functional and sculptural.
