Teak can have its own problems. It never really dries due to the oily nature of the wood, thus it would stain your canvas, plus the sawdust is poisonous. I would say go with ash or oak. You maybe able to find baluster rail that would do quite well and already finished in the round. I would carve the end pieces out of a separate piece, then attach them to the pole when I set up the tent. That way if the pole broke it would be easier to replace the carvings. I would go to the lumber yard that is on Lancaster near Beach in FW. They are a mill yard and can produce what you may need. 

For the canvas, I would talk to some of the people at the infamous fabric district to see what they can offer. Sunforger is one of the best brand names for tent canvas. Pretreated and flame proof.
