Is there a way to make a nice looking wooden aqueduct?

[Waughoo]

I'm making a transportation system from my lumber mill to my base, and wanted to do something like this...

I've tried using half steps and panels, molding, ext. Nothing looks right. Also half steps obviously makes the water 'float' a half step above the water. Anyone have anything that looks better?

I was also hoping to make it 1 stream of water wide

Make pannels and wooden blocks underneath... get it to go 8 blocks before it goes down 1 and you can make it look pretty good that way.

step 1:
mark out where you want your water to flow using dirt (dropping down when needed)

Step2: place panels all around the dirt.

step 3: apply shovel .

this is made with panels and moulding, nothing else

I'm trying something like that, but the water is always a half block above the wood, which is making the drops fall down and never get moved along. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. I was placing a panel on the ground, then another on top of it, then I delete the bottom panel and put more panels on the sides of the top one. Then I put molding on top of the side panels

Panels can be applied to the underside of blocks, hence the suggestion to make your waterflow area out of dirt first, so you can put the panels under it, then dig the dirt out and put the water in. As the panels are applied to the dirt, it will be exactly one block in size, so have no half block gaps.

Nevermind, I figured it out. Had to place panels on the bottom of a block, the delete the block inside. Pretty much what the_fodder said above.

Thanks guys!

I think you could use Kaevators Timber Farming mod for the colums, it's a nice mod :)
