Default Oakachoy Covered Bridge

Well I've finally gotten around to taking some pictures of the bridge. As you can see I went with a natural finish. 16 in. long, 10 3/4 in. tall, 1 in. thick. The very deepest point is carved down to about 7/8 in.

Well done Dylan. You are really applying your skills to an extrordinary level, and show remarkable promise. I do hope you consider going further with your training. You are doing splendid work.

Remarkable work, very well done. To my eye, it appears there may be a couple of faces in the tree branches, or could have been. Was this intended, or is it one of those undocumented features?



Or am I just drinking week-old coffee again?

Great job Dylan,
The finish really compliments the way you handled the grass and dirt in the foreground. I was wondering how that would look.
Excellent rock work, very real looking lap siding on the bridge, great proportions, and I like the way the trees actually give it motion.
Terrific job. Thanks for posting the finished picture.
Thor
