Hinoki wood tub AB grade (quartersawn) / L shaped corners Dimensions are: L1400mm x W750mm x H640mm (ext. dim.) 550mm (deep) . The bottom of the tub is finished with natural oil and the joints are realized with wooden dowels. Accessories include an internal removable seat and traditional wood cover. The corner joint is made in such a way that the water cannot reach the head of the planks (cut perpendicular to the wood veins) which is more vulnerable to water.

And here is the detail of the cover planks.

The front planks have a nice gradation and are joined in such a way to enhance this quality, like a rainbow. All the material is beautiful asnaro wood and comes from the same lot, which was partially used for another project. But how could we make it so cheap? We could considerably reduce the cost by using some AB grade material. Note from the pictures below that there are 2 flush knots in the top frame border we used.

Of course this does not affect the quality of the wood, actually the eco-scrooge who lives inside you will enjoy the skillful inlays as the mole on Marilyn`s beautiful cheek!

I cannot really explain in writing how silky is this tub`s inside. If you have a chance to visit Japan, consider dropping by at our warehouse in Yotsukaido (near Narita airport).

What effect does that have on the wood? http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/9-faqcomment/bathtub_in_carolina_climate.php http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/9-faqcomment/bathtub_in_carolina_climate.php 9-FAQ/comment Sun, 12 Aug 2012 00:24:24 +0900 outlet tub for close friends (sold out!) sorry, sold out! This outlet tub is quite large and is suitable for a couple (or close friends...)

We could contain the cost by using B-grade hinoki. It has some small knots and this allowed us to use the full planks width. Anyway the material is Kiso Valley hinoki, quarter sawn and the tub has a beefy top frame construction. If you are looking for the best cost-performance, this is a chance you cannot miss!

Inside this tub all you can touch is warm wood and soothing water...!]]> http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/7-custom_ofuro/twin_tubs_for_ny.php http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/7-custom_ofuro/twin_tubs_for_ny.php 7-custom ofuro Sat, 19 Jan 2013 08:10:59 +0900 perfect timing to buy an ofuro In case you did not notice it, the dollar and euro are gaining value over the yen. Today, one dollar buys you almost 91 yen, it was 78 yen/dollar six months ago. In few words, if you purchase a japanese bathtub now you can save about 20% compared to the price you would have payed in summer 2012. Is the yen weakness going to last? We do not know, anyway the boost of exports and the planned increase of the sales tax (from 5% to 8% in 2014 and 10% in 2015) create the premises for demand increase which can boost the economy and generate a flow of capitals towards the japanese stock market. Is the yen going back to 78 yen per dollar? Again nobody can say it, but it is likely that it is going to stabilize to a medial value for the months to come. If you are planning to buy an ofuro, this may be the chance you were waiting for...!]]> http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/0-blog_news/buy_an_ofuro_now.php http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/0-blog_news/buy_an_ofuro_now.php 0-blog / news Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:11:23 +0900 wabisabi featured on Tokyo TV ]]> http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/0-blog_news/wabisabi_featured_on_tokyo_tv.php http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/0-blog_news/wabisabi_featured_on_tokyo_tv.php 0-blog / news Fri, 01 Feb 2013 07:45:12 +0900 Bartok design featured on DWELL http://www.dwell.com/post/slideshow/all-about-japanese-soaking-tubs#5]]> http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/0-blog_news/bartok_design_featured_on_dwel.php http://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/0-blog_news/bartok_design_featured_on_dwel.php 0-blog / news Thu, 07 Feb 2013 06:35:39 +0900
