This was a short project I did last summer.
My sister was putting together a Japanese inspired garden and asked me to build a small bridge to cross the pond we had just put in.
There are several Japanese styled bridges, but in such a small space I decided to build a small bridge with a slight curve to it
 |
| Like all good projects, it begins with a pile of raw wood. |
 |
| These pegs will aid with the bending |
 |
| Two timbers are laminated between 3 pegs |
 |
| Meanwhile, I cut up and chamfer the edges of some planks |
 |
| The two curved timbers are joined with baseplates |
 |
| The base is staked into place and the planks start going on |
 |
| Getting the gaps even |
 |
| I'm using weather proof screws, so hopefully it'll last |
 |
| The finished bridge |
 |
| Hopefully it'll weather into the landscape after a while |
