Forest Cooperage began as a project of passion in the pacific Northwest;

…the heartland of the western red cedar. For millennia, nature has nurtured these trees here on Vancouver Island. A very few of them come to the skilled hands of our Forest Cooperage craftspeople where they are shown the respect they deserve.

Cedar Soaker Tub Buyer’s Guide

September 28, 2022

Everything you need to know about buying a cedar soaker tub.

"Very Happy Customers"

Thanks to Doug’s craftsmanship, our new Hot Tub is the focal point of our yard. Nothing beats the smell, feel and look of wood! Thanks for all your attention to detail.

"Very Pleased"

We’ve been using it for a couple of months now and Carol and I are very pleased. Stars and owls have also been cooperative. Stove is nice and very efficient and heats water well in about 3 – 3.5 hrs from cold, but only needs 1.5 hrs on the second night.

"Exceptional Customer Care"

I can not express how incredibly blessed I feel to have found your company on Pinterest and now to own this gorgeous tub that makes my bathroom feel absolutely luxurious. Please thank everyone for me for all of their hard work and attention to detail while providing exceptional customer care!

"Thank you for our wonderful new hot tub."

The first night we used it, the sky was clear and we could see all of the stars. The only sound was the crackling of the wood stove and the wind in the trees. Your tub fits perfectly into our landscape and it looks like it was made for the spot we put it on. Not only is it a fabulous hot tub, but it is a great conversation piece as well.

Finally a life hack we can get behind! 😉🌅 #
