I'm currently looking in some reclamation yards for old timber "telegraph poles".

These are about 10 inches in diameter, have a rugged look, and most places that sell them, will cut a complete one into varying lengths with a chainsaw.

Concrete these in, with the best end upwards, and screw on a flat top.

Not sure what the availability is in the U.S. or elsewhere, but most of ours are now being replaced with steel, or are going all together because of underground cables - so there are plenty about.

Regards,
Ian.
