Well it's almost finished (hope I'm not boring everone with this thread). The piece was originaly drawn with 1,575 parts I reduced it to 1,380 was having problems with assembly. Over the span of the bridge the parts to show the cables was over 200 parts, with the kerf thickness variance lets say .0005" with over 200 of them thats almost 1/8". Well all that's left is the finish, I think I'll let my son do the finishing. He has a mixture of tung oil and poly (I think) that I hear looks great, mirror finish. He did a finish on a project For Foster Farms he said that came out great, it went out before I saw it http://www.sawmillcreek.org/images/smilies/frown.gif
