Eye bolt, pulley, cap and reducer. Passersby who view your homemade flag pole displayed in your front yard will likely wonder if it was something you had custom made. I imagine a suitably straight tree was selected and felled from which a flagpole was fashioned.

I'm thinking it may still be done this way by the boy scouts.
A wooden flag pole can be more aesthetically pleasing than a metal one.
Back in the day, flagpoles were made almost exclusively from wood.I than used the same jig to drill a 1/4 hole all the way thought the 1 1/2 pip at the very top mount the eye bolt to hold the pulley. Another makes them out of solid cedar snags taken out of the woods.A coat of epoxy, then three coats of marine white paint.
No laminations, just solid stock.Planers and drawknives and sanding to get the stock round and tapered. For a wood pole, a hinged base is a neccessity.The wood can be stained to give an old, crafted look.
