[TowerTalk] Wooden Power Pole Antenna Masts

[jeremy-ca]

A friend in the next town had a 120' Douglas fir shipped by rail from 
Washington to NH. It became the ridge pole for his "log cabin". The 120 x 
36' basement became one of the most amazing auto restoration shops Ive ever 
seen. John was a former chief model maker for Polaroid and this guy could 
make anything.
