Wood Soaking Tubs Handcrafted in Oregon
About Us
Handmade Cedar Tubs for Hot and Cold Soaking
We are a small team of craftspeople based in Eugene, Oregon, dedicated to building traditional Japanese ofuros and our own modern innovations — wood soaking tubs designed for outdoor hot soaking.
Our tubs blend natural materials, timeless design, and thoughtful craftsmanship to create a simple, luxurious soaking experience. We are passionate about sharing this unique, natural alternative to conventional hot tubs, offering a connection to nature and deep relaxation.
Tyler Stewart
Owner, Founder
Tyler founded Elemental Soaking Tubs during the Covid winter of 2020-2021. Inspired by the deep comfort and meditative quality of traditional ofuros — especially when enjoyed outdoors — he set out to create tubs that could bring this life-changing experience into everyday life. His vision continues to shape every tub we build.
Troy Faccio
Lead Builder
Troy brings over 30 years of carpentry and finishing experience to our hand-made soaking tubs. A native of the Oregon forest, when not building tubs he can be found deep in the woods on the side of a mountain somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
