Have you heard of such a thing?
Wood being used as a material to construct water “pipes”.
We saw these still used by the rustic Lake O’Hara Lodge high in the Canadian Rockies. It’s wonderful they have not yet been replaced by plastic.

A week later I saw similar pipes in Parksville, BC on Vancouver Island — but in a museum. They were no longer being used.
