The mast

The mast has been quite a challenge to find.   I searched far and wide for an untreated cedar pole but the only one I could find would cost $1300.  Salvaged poles from PG&E are cut to 10′ lengths when they bring them back to the yard so that option was out.  We ended up buying a redwood tree from the local mill and having it delivered.  It looks great but it is green and enormously heavy !
