   There are some great cedar's available on the west coast that rival Hinoki, Western red, Alaskan Yellow and Port Orford. This company uses all three and gives some descriptions as well as other supplies. Scroll down on the home page.

   Carolyn,

   I lived with a real redwood tub for years before we converted it with a vinyl liner.  The only problem was that I didn't do it sooner.  It consumed fewer chemicals, did not leak at all and, most importantly, did not leach minerals and other chemicals into the water that could affect your health.
