The liner is the feature
A traditional sauna bucket is coopered from staves and relies on the wood swelling tight. That works beautifully while the bucket is used often and stays damp. It fails when the sauna sits unused for a fortnight, the staves shrink, and the joints let go. A plastic inner container removes that failure mode completely without giving up the look of wood in the room.
What it is
Pine, finished black, with a removable plastic liner. 1.1 gallon capacity, 10 inches wide by 10.6 inches deep by 10.6 inches tall, 2 pounds empty. Crafted in Finland.
Why black
Black bucket and ladle sets have become the standard pairing for dark-panelled and thermally modified interiors, where a pale natural bucket reads as an odd bright object in the corner. If your benches are thermo-aspen or alder, this disappears into the room in the right way.

Care
Empty it after every session and lift the liner out to dry. Standing water is what kills buckets, ladles and the floor under both of them.
The matching ladle
The 4Living black pine ladle is the pair for it, same finish and same maker.
Why we stock it
We keep a short list of buckets rather than a long one. This is the one we point people at when they want the traditional look and do not want to be replacing it in three years.
