The last few months I have been researching the science and techniques to create a timber-framed covered bridge using the techniques of the 19th century. If you are curious about how woodworkers built a wooden bridge in the 1840s, click on the link below. -- Thanks to the Wood Spirit, Tom Have created over 20 videos on numerous woodworkers as a tribute to their craftsmanship, their unique style, or new innovation. These videos have been posted to YouTube under Hoosierwoodcraft. Would like to use this space to talk about new stoies I am developing. These Notes link you to those videos

Always enjoy your historic videos Tom. I’ve always been amazed by covered bridges. Seen a lot of them in my travels on my motorcycle throughout my life. Each one is so beautiful with their looks and their engineering.

I wonder if it was bridges similar to these that featured in Clint Eastwood movie The Bridges of Madison County?

Couldnt resist doing some research after 14,000+ bridges built and 800 still standing
Long Description:
Beverly Covered Bridge
Site of old covered bridge on Staunton & Parkersburg Turnpike built in 1847 by Lemuel Chenoweth (1811-87). Burned during Civil War, he rebuilt it in 1873. Dismantled by state in 1951. Chenoweth’s home, built in 1847, is southeast of old bridge site.
His house is still there!.
