Title: Sealed tub

Abstract: A stave for a tub has opposite elongate edges formed with formations each having a section transverse to the stave including an arcuate portion, and a rabbet for receiving a floor of the tub extending between the edges. The formations on each stave are desirably complementary, but need not be. Staves placed in edge-to-edge relation define a tub wall which can conform to an arbitrary shape and size. A tub is formed by a plurality of staves, an appropriately shaped floor, and bands extending around the outside of the tub wall.
