This is a scroll saw fretwork model of a Victorian suspension bridge. It can be made of any size you want, just by scaling the pattern and using appropriate wood thickness. Considering its size and beauty, this is a project that takes little time to complete and has no exceptional difficulties in its construction. One of the most attractive features of this project is the gently curved floor of the bridge. The bend is very slight and gives a nice effect. This piece of wood should be made with a very thin wood, so that bending is not a problem. The two sides of the bridge rest on two delicately fretworked boxes.   

 The pattern has been designed to use 4 mm wood. By scaling the pattern appropriately any other wood thickness can also be used. These are the measures of the bridge model depending on the wood thickness you use:
