[Elfsea] Tent Questions

[charles armitage]

I'm looking to do a simple Saxon Geteld and would like some opinions on the type of wood to use for the center pole; please note that I will be carving Chimera heads on the ends so I will need something that will allow for that, I was thinking Teak but it’s hard to get and I'm not sure it’s good for carving.
 
Also, I will need about 52 yards of canvas to do this, well they say 6.5x the height wanted, I was thinking 8 feet but probably don't need that much; probably more like 40 yards or so… With that said where is best place to go and best type of canvas to get?
 
Thank you!
