Its always nice to see proper craftsmanship nowadays, brilliant work. Did you have to bend the oak by steaming it, or is the curve in the wood naturally?
@DynamiteDanmah The oak is way to thick to steam bend I chose a tree with a curve in it and cut the handrails from the same tree with the matching curve.

Do you have a location map for where the bridge sits on the estate?
