Building a flagpole to go outside our seasonal buisiness.
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36929/IMG_0609.JPG?easyrotate_cache=1498775598) Started out with some quarter sawn white oak that was air dried for 5yrs. Had a lot of bow, I ripped it to rough size on the mill. Glued up 5 laminations, ending up with a 35/8×41/4 × 20'. Left a 3/4" channel in the center for power, antenna cable or whatever. Put it back on the mill and squared it to 3 5/8. Did some creative shimming on the mill and tapered all 4 sides from 5/8" to nothing over 16'. The old lt25 never ceases to amaze me!

That's nice
Nice job I like it.
Very nicely done! I look forward to seeing it mounted and a flag on it!
Got the base welded up and set in concrete.
