If your bathroom doesn't have full length windows that look out to an enchanting forest, sweeping views of a winding river, or sky-high views of 5th avenue, your bath-fitters installation is just one Yahoo search away.

The incredible wooden bathtubs are created by artist/craftsman Nathie Katzoff, who founded NK Woodworking Design and trained as a boat builder in Maine, and gained his experience by building numerous classic and historic wooden vessels both large and small.

Taking his lover for the organic nature of woods, curves, and colors, Nathie began creating one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture, unique staircases, and luxury wooden bathtubs.

What's a bathtub, but just a tiny little version of a wooden ship, right? In 2011, Nathie put together an all-star team of builders that would become NK Woodworking Design, and in 2015, they started their line of wooden bathtubs.
