Arnie, some of my best lumber of recent has been made from telephone 
poles. You do not have to use the entire pole and when making shingles 
you only need a 12-18 inch chunk of the pole and you are set. Findlay 
uses poles for there shingles, I think as they have at times.  My father 
put in one of them outdoor furnaces and he feed anything that will burn 
into it. Want some free firewood? try the poles. cough wheeze cough wheeze
