All down throughout
the ages and just as with the ancient Romans, people have
loved the calm pleasures and therapeutic benefits of soaking
in warm water. People, everywhere, have a type of affinity
with the water and love to engage in the simple pleasures
of soaking. The very clever Romans popularized recreational
activities around |
| water
and tubs and to this very day, we all understand well the
healing effects of warm water. Barrel making or ‘cooperage’
stems back thousands of years. It is an age-old tradition
and cooperage is still appreciated, today, for holding liquid
including wines and spirits. Very early on, Cedar and Oak
were used for their natural protection against decay and
for how the wood expanded when soaked. Cooperage ushered
in the earliest development of those wonderful hot tubs.
|
| The 1970’s
literally burst upon the home leisure scene and the "plastics"
became the new “woods.” It was confusing but
people, just the same, lost no time in forgetting all about
the beautiful, natural woods. If you heard the word "spa"
the words "hot tub" were soon to follow. People
were beginning to associate themselves with the luxury of
a good soak, while even at home. As people endeavored to
become accustomed to the new woods, for many, the idea just
would not fly. They wanted the characteristics and properties
of wood and they wanted nothing but the real deal. Wood
was welcomed back whole-heartedly and people, everywhere,
relished the joys of 'hot tubbing' once more.
