I'm sure it could be done if you really wanted to, but wooden poles
are passe for a very good reason: They don't last and require a lot of
maintenance while they are up. One possible exception is a
fully-creosoted telephone pole but they have disadvantages too. 

For ham use, metal is the way to go.
