After reading mikey9591's post "Telephone or Power wiring?" I started wondering how many modelers use plastic store bought telephone/power poles and how many use real wood and build your own? If you use real wood how do you taper the poles like the prototype? Is there a company that sells scale wood poles for this purpose? I haven't gotten this far on my layout (H0) so haven't thought about what I will use when the time comes. I am a prototype scratch builder and am now thinking that scale wood poles and cross arms, although more time consuming, would be more realistic.
