There are all kinds of things you can do with strips of different sizes.
I built this tub from 2" X 4" X 4' northern white cedar "strips" on a half form which consisted of two plywood stations.
I stripped the two halves with a channel cut near the bottom to capture the tub floor. The seat, and a bulkhead, under and at the front of the seat, reduce the volume of water the tube will hold, so my hot water tank will have enough water to fill the tub to the overflow drain, visible near the upper side. The seat and bulkhead were filleted in place from behind, through a hole "access port".
Surfaces were glassed using a 6 oz. e-glass.
To enter you climb the steps grab onto the bar on the wall and swing your legs over the tub edge and stand on the seat, then sit down.
So many projects, one more down!
The toilet and sink, and plumbing for them, will be moved to a wall perpendicular to their current location next month. Then I have to figure out what to do with the rest of the bathroom to finish it off.

Yes, that is the behind of a sheep you see outside my bathroom window! The wife is now a proud something-or-other since her ewes gave birth to 6 ram lambs.
