Wooden Hot Tubs in the 1960's

The Wooden Vats

1960’s-
The first wooden hot tubs began to appear in numbers in California. Inspired by the traditional Japanese bathing tubs, were made using leftover materials from nearby wineries of the region. They were sold to fun loving bohemians by fun loving bohemians. There were small ones, medium ones, and even giant ones with 20 to 30 people in them. Big and open with no seats or lounges, nothing in the way. It was just pure hot water enjoyment.
