[QUOTE="taharris, post: 176464, member: 2074"] There are two ways to do it. The stem can have an integral tenon, in which case the tenon is turned down to size from the stock that the tenon is made from. Or the stem can have a tenon inserted. In this case most pipe makers use a material by the trade name of Derlin. This material is very dimensionally stable and also has some self lubricating properties which give the stem a nice smooth feel when it is inserted into the stemmel. Both methods are used by high end pipe makers. Todd [/QUOTE]
