Well, I cut this pattern at it's original size instead of following my instincts and enlarging it. There were definitely several prayer moments during this one! It is 4-7/8" wide with the thinnest walls about 1/16th" thick. The wood is cherry and I have not applied any finish yet.
I am installing some new windows in the house and i am going to finish the trim on the inside with some red oak.
I am looking for suggestions on what would be a good top coat for the wood to protect it from moisture and uv (fading).
The Dust Level Window is made from 1/4'' Polycarbonate. Dimensions are 1-1/2''x 11''. The back of the plastic is cut like a miniature raised-panel door; the panel extends about 1/16'' through the 1/2'' slot in the trashcan. The back side of the window is painted Black. The window is secured...
Hey,
I'm remodeling a room for my kid. I'm also updating it at the same time. Sorta also restoring it as well. At this point I'm working on the windows. The top sashes have been painted shut for probably 40+ years. The house was built in the mid 1920s.
While I'm restoring the windows I also...
I just finished this mission style window table, for lack of a better name. It is made from red oak, has mortise and thru tennons; and a classic oak stain with two coats of satin wipe on poly on the top.

It makes sighting...

I'm trimming out the windows in the shop and of course it's my first time and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm obviously going to have to mill something to make the 3 1/4" window stool molding work, but why is there a beveled rabbet at the back? Not so much the rabbet, but why the bevel...
Anyone have a good link to pics of Arts and Crafts style window and door casing and other trim? I did a Google search and did not come up with any detailed, closeup pics or cross sectional diagrams.
If I were to design the casing myself I might do a built-up system something like this:

Tried making these things with band saw, scrowlsaw and chisel. Got a mullion cutter from www.pricecutter.com and here's the results. Joint separated slightly for camera.
I need to find a place to buy a bit of muntins strip for a window I'm repairing. It's what I call "three-step" muntins, but thats likely not the correct name, seeing as how I made that one up.
I am not familiar enough with the area yet to even have a clue as to where to shop for something like...
