Hi All,
I was wondering if anybody has ever used a wooden bath mat. I saw a nice example in myer and I was wondering if they work well. I was also wondering if anybody has made one. The ones I have seen for sale in stores are made from pine that has been stained and sealed. When I did an internet search I saw some very nice cedar and teak mats. Im sure I could make one without much hassle. Anyway could anyone think of any negatives or positives for for the ideas above?
Thanks in advance!

If you are a talented woodworker then I would say make one yourself using some nice teak wood and save yourself the dollars. That way you can make it to fit your needs.
Go with teak, it handles outdoor conditions and water well. Ipe is also a great choice but its pricier, although the small size of a bath mat may not make much difference. I've seen a couple versions, the tiled pieces that seem to be flexible and the rigid construction that elevates the slats off the floor. I'd advise the elevated...I first saw these a decade ago as a student in a european rental that had a dorm/locker shower area.
River Parks also has teak tops installed in their recent 41st Plaza tables.
