After selecting a prototype design, and initial placement test I stained the wood with a mix of alcohol, distilled water, and permanent ink. Next I built the bridge deck.

Support beams stained, cut to length and put in place. I glued a few boards across the beams so that I can take the bridge off it's location ... |

... and build the rest of the bridge deck in the freight area of Emsingen, which happens to function nicely as temporary work bench. |

Bridge deck built and additional running boards put down the spread the "weight". |
It turns out that I stained the bridge boards too lightly. I will attempt to fix this with weathering later. Next up is building the railing.
