I'm wondering, what do they do with old telephone poles? would they be suitable for carving? I know some are coated with creosote and that wouldn't be good, but I've seen a lot lately that are either unfinished or just pressure treated.

I'd love to get my hands on some of the reclaimed lumber from the Great Lakes or rivers around here. The density of that wood is just outstanding. It's like getting solid old growth, but without the logging permit hassle.
