If you mean the toilets from the pre-engine days, it was an 'oaken' bucket -
not cedar.



A modern cedar bucket is lighter and more pleasing to the eye
than some heavy old oaken bucket that turns almost black with
wind, rain and sun. The cedar bucket is an all around boat
bucket. It may be used for washing laundry, dishes, body sponge
baths, temporary live well, dumping sewage overboard, or
containing it in plastic bags if inshore, scrubbing
the deck, etc. It needs to have a sturdy bail.
