It is true that the inside of a wooden tub should never be stained as it would prevent water from absorbing into the wood which would prevent the wood from expanding. However, the outside of the tub can be stained to prevent the cedar from naturally greying over time.
I have heard that wooden tubs should not be stained because that prevents them from breathing. Print
