And there are bridges that no longer exist, such as this little one that used to be out in the woods past my back yard, but crumbled many years ago. So I doodled up a picture (also many years ago) to remember it.

Thanks. It's Brazilian. Needed light weight for such a large bridge, but wanted dark color, and had a blank that happened to be just the right size
