An equal footage of reinforced concrete pipe weighs , pounds and requires over ten cars. These pipes, used in place of corrugated iron or reinforced concrete pipes, were made of sections cut from short lengths of wood. Locking of adjacent rings with hardwood dowel pins produced a flexible structure.

About , feet of these wooden pipes were installed in in drainage culverts, storm sewers and conduits, under highways and at army camps, naval stations, airfields and ordnance plants.

This piece of 6" internal diameter wood water pipe has a long history. Initially, it was used in Jerome, Arizona as a part of a water distribution system for a mining operation.

In the mids, the pipe was removed and re-installed in Sedona's potable water system, where it remained in active service until the early s. Please note the authentic Muellar corporation stop. This stop was manufactured especially for use with wood water pipe. Wood stave water pipe from Colorado. This piece of 10" internal diameter wood stave pipe was used starting in the mids at the Pandora Mill Idarado Mining Company near Telluride, Colorado, in gravity service -- both buried and above ground -- to convey tailings from the mill to the tailings pond.

The sand content of the tailings was so high that it was extremely abrasive to the inside surfaces of the pipe. Mining staff had to physically rotate the pipe every few months to move the worn surface to the crown and unworn surface to the invert flow line. After several years of use, the wood pipe was taken out of service and replaced with lined asbestos cement pipe.

This pipe was made in laying lengths of approximately 18 ft. The bell and spigot joints were gasketless -- when the pipe was wetted during service, the wood would swell, sealing the joints. Redwood, Oregon fir, oak, spruce, or whatever was readily available were used to make wood pipe. Often, the exterior surfaces of the spiral-wound wood pipe was coated with asphaltic materials to slow down corrosion of the windings.

Note: wood pipe log and stave was used from the s to the mid s for both water and sewage conveyance. It worked well for water service since the wood remained wet all the time -- some is still in service today. Ask your local tobacconist for recommendations. This is a leisurely activity in which you give yourself a moment to slow things down a bit. So for starters, carve yourself out a good chunk of time to sit and enjoy a good pipe, as the saying goes.

Fill the bowl with a loose pinch of tobacco, then press it down gently with the tamper. It should now be filled about halfway. Top it off with another pinch, then tamp it down again. At this point, the bowl should be about two-thirds of the way full. Now add and tamp one more pinch of tobacco, leaving a tiny bit of space to the top of the bowl. Before lighting, give it a few quick test puffs to make sure that air flows freely. Apply the flame to the bowl in a circular motion, drawing gently on the pipe all the while.

As with a cigar , pipe tobacco tends to be rather strong, and the whole experience is more about flavor. Enjoy taking little puffs of smoke into your mouth.
