[Cob] a cob bathtub

There's been at least one--a friend of Charmaine Taylor--although she may 
have used hemp oil, don't know if we ever got pictures or complete details.

Some of the others have turned out to be rumors.  Or made with a fairly high 
percentage of concrete or asphalt emulsion--aka "stabilized earth".  Nothing 
particularly wrong with that under the circumstances, mind you.

Gernot Minke has a sink in his house--written up in a past issue of Natural 
Home.  Again, don't know if it was stabilized earth or not.

In the interests of lower maintenance, I may go with used cast iron.  
There's a place that seems to refinish them up in the next county.
