Default Thickness of Khana Poles?

Hi chaps / Chapesses

so iv been getting on with (or trying to) debarking coppiced Khana poles with a draw-knife.
with bark stripped, they between 1" and 1-1/2" thickness.
done 20ish and am looking to steam bend the 1st batch.

but im having some uncertainties about the thickness of the poles.

how is thickness of khana poles going to effect transport of Yurt?
some of the poles are not entirely straight. during selection for 1st coppicing session, i may have been too lenient with picking not so straight poles to cut.

im worried that with crooked + thick kana poles, the wall sections might not collaps very well for transport.

should i consider shaving all poles down to 1" thickness?

about 50% of my poles have some kind of small S bend. should i discard these?
