Remember something about it from ARRL handbook a couple (or so) years ago. Was
made of three planks (2x8 should probably do). Two of them were clamped around
the third. It looked like an "A" with a spire on the top. Don't know if it
would make 40' though. Always a start. Shall look for it and come back (unless
somebody else finds it before me, which is very possible)

Subject: [TowerTalk] Wood constructed tower
Would there be a way to construct a 40' wood tower, The base being
10'x10'square
and the top at 5'x5' square. Probably 4x4 posts bolted together. A ladder made
to climb up to the top. Sort of like a WW2 lookout tower. All pressure treated.
I would love this because I can then bolt a 5' roof tower on top and maintain
the antenna, feedline and rotor whenever I want with no help. As I get older i
would still be able to maintain the antenna and not have to rely on others. Has
anyone had if inducted this idea. Would be interested to know.
