Fall Sketchup Challenge Entry - Backwards Bridge

This bridge fell during a tropical storm a few years ago. Now it servers as a dam, and the river flows over it rather than under. Today cars do not use the bridge to travel the forest road, but that doesn't stop a few adventurous hikers.

The woods depicted in the table design are primarily cherry and maple, with walnut accents.

This is my first project in sketch-up. I typically use auto sketch to draw my projects, but I think I have found a new favorite in sketch-up. Who knows, I might even try to build this table eventually.

David, this is beaut. Terrific design with its elegant simplicity and your Sketchup skills and views show everything nessesary to build it I believe. Really nicely done.

Funny, a lot of the bridges that we DO drive over look just like that over here in New Zealand. Watch out for flash floods!

Nice work. I love how you've captured the essence of the bridge with such an elegant and clean design. I really like looking at this table.
