Thanks to all for the input on bridge building ... the rope variety. Progess is being made..planks are only placed as the "rope" needs primer and paint. Still a lot to do but I like the look of the bridge so far.

That is a great idea. Good job on the bridge. Obviously a dilemma or the jeep crew

A nice little idea and story. Good luck with it. Figs looks nice, and vehicle as well.

Indeed a great idea! Did you have it yourself, or is based on some kinda photo?

Idea is based on imagination..I nomally try to do dios that are a little out of the norm. And thanks!

Nice idea there John!

Perhaps you should look a bit on the bridge to be. It looks like the ropes are made from copper. I would worry that the would sag with time and perhaps chose something sturdier.

John, make sure you soak that tree cut in turps and linseed oil or it will split and check when it completely dries out. 3/4 turps to 1/4 linseed oil.
Trust me I used to make coffee tables and other furniture out of tree cuts [ all types of wood ], when the natural moisture leaves a cut of wood it will split. By putting moisture back in [ turps & linseed oil ] it will last dam near forever.

Looks great. Glad you went with the hanging bridge into oblivian idea.
