   I used three sources as follows to reproduce traditional sash for a timber frame building:

   1. Woodwork Joints by Charles H. Hayward

   2. Make Your Own Handcrafted Doors and Windows by John Birchard

   3. The Practical Woodworker by Bernard E. Jones

   Note that I was doing reproduction of 18th C style windows with through tenons and muntins. The muntins tenoned into the styles, and had complex joints where the muntins crossed. I've attached a picture.

   I used reclaimed old-growth redwood that I acquired from a small sawmill in Arcata, CA. I used this lumber source for the timber frame building for which the windows were built (picture attached).

   Thanks for the feedback.

   The book:Make Your Own Handcrafted Doors and Windows by John Birchard is out of print unfortunately.

   After searching every public library in London (via a data base) I came across a catalogue by Reddiseals Direct  http://www.reddiseals.com which has a very good diagram illustrating the sash window.

   They dont appear to have the Sash window diagram on their website.

   You may have to order the catalogue or request they scan and email it to you.

   I bought them at Ball & Ball in Exton, PA. They were more than what I wanted to spend, but I wanted quality.

   The current issue of Fine Homebuilding has a article on building a wooded sash. I am assuiming this is for a house window. The article was tilted toward a wooden sash for a shed or outbuilding.

   Mouldy,

   FWW #64 has an article on making coped sash for furniture.  Except for the dimensions of the stock, the procedure is the same.  Written by a fellow named David Ray Pine.  He's probably some kind of crackpot, but may be worth taking a look at.  Also a write up in the same issue on the crosslapped mitered sash joint.  By Gene Landon, I believe.

   Regards,

   Ray Pine

   Mouldy,

   Some of the router bit sets for window sash (including the Freud 99-050 and 99-051) have instructions with them.

   Sash windows are a good alternative to Vinyl or PVC. They provide a more natural or traditional look to windows and better suit older properties.
