 For 100's of years societies around the world have rejuvenated in the calming and healing pleasures of warm water. From as far back as the ancient Greeks, tales are spoken of the medicinal healing powers of bathing in natural  hot springs.

The modern "hot tub" trend started in the 1960's in California, with people modifying large oak wine barrels into private soaking hot tubs. Cedar and Red Wood Hot Tubs were soon introduced because of their natural resistance to decay. These woods have a great natural insulating property and expanded to form a very tight seal when wet. These California Hot Tubs were the grandfathers that the modern day wooden hot tub is modeled after. Northern Lights Cedar Tubs manufactures hot tubs using a balance of old world cooperage (barrel making) and modern design.

In the 1970s' plastic molding and injection hot tub shells were introduced and quickly these became the fad. The terms "spa" and "hot tub" became the same meaning . As with most trends, the classic look of wood and its superior functionality gained a rebirth of the "wooden hot tub". The architectural appeal and unique styling of a wood hot tub could never be matched by plastics. And so it is, the classic California hot tub has continued it legacy and grown in popularity as people look for simplicity and functionality in their hot tubs or spas..
