Wooden water/sewer pipes.
I was watching a show called Modern Marvels. It showed wooden pipes from long ago. It also showed wooden pilings being driven for New Orleans. Wooden pilings have been holding Venice, Italy up for hundreds of years. Anyhow, a couple links if anyone is interested. http://www.sewerhistory.org/photosgraphics/pipes-wood/ https://newyorkhistoryblog.org/2016/09/histroy-underground-old-wooden-water-pipes/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/lg-zKE0ETBSw4I8O_RHz5A |

I was probably 1 ft. ID, wrapped with 1/4" steel at about 4" of pipe per wrap. |
