Do you have a suggestion for a realistic looking telephone pole that you can attach the line to?

Telephone poles are a great first scratch-building project. Some dowels, balsa-wood strips, stain, straight pins and beads and you are all set.
The only hard part is keeping the birds on the lines from hanging upside down like bats. 
Then again, as they say, there is a prototype for everything:
Here are mine. I bought them from a guy that unfortunately is no longer in business. Simple construction (easy for me to say) and pretty sturdy. My advice is to use flexible lines for the wires. I bought the string at Michaels.
