Mahootus makes hand-built hot tubs in the old coopering style, from western red cedar with brushed stainless steel fittings. Each tub has a patented dual-fuel burner that heats the water with either wood or an LPG element, and there are no pumps, moving parts or chemicals to run. You fill the tub from a garden hose on town water pressure, then drain it onto the garden, into the stormwater or wherever is convenient. Mark and Adrian, who bring around 60 years of woodworking between them, build the tubs and also make bespoke timber windows and doors. Customers who have ordered that joinery say the workmanship is accurate and keep coming back for more. The tubs measure about 1530 mm across and 650 mm deep, and the workshop is at 3 Timothy Place in Wigram.
