The pics are in the link below, it looks much like this bridge, but not exactly the same.
    Wow! That really came out beautifully. No chipping that I can spot around the rout!

    Beginner's luck I'd say!
    I did cut the timber with a mallet and chisel before using the router, that seemed to keep it neat too. I wouldn't want to have to do it again.
    I don't think the bridge is quite the same, but it is well made and heavy
