How do i find a replacement wood pole for my patio umbrella? It broke right at the metal piece.

Is there anyway to replace just the wood pole of a large 10 foot square umbrella without buying an entirely new umbrella. The pole broke in half at the metal piece that supports the upper portion of the pole.

You don't, welcome to the forced obsolescence world. Although, you may find a heavy pipe nipple fits snugly onto the pole to become a permanently repairing sleeve

You'd get longer than you need and cut the thread ends off. Then, you'd drill it for a few screws to be screwed into the pole above and below the break's/cut's joint.
