I seen\heard of wooden piers made by crossbolting 4 4 x 4's. The movement elements tend to cancel out and if you seal all the timber before bolting up you can minimise movement considerably. I know of one pier that is an old tree stump ! Hasn't moved in years.
Wooden tripod legs seem to be better dampeners than metal.
