Hi,
I've been asked to make a reproduction window sash to replace an old one that is falling apart from aparent water damage (shady location + years without paint).
The old one was made with wedged through-tenons where the muntins meet the rails/stiles, and the frame was made with wedged & pinned through-tenons.
My question is, can I duplicate this window with a typical window sash router bit (Whiteside/Lee Valley/Amana/etc) and use loose tenons instead of through-tenons?
I plan to use use Titebond III and Fir or Cedar or White Pine, sound ok?
Thanks for any help and suggestions.
Pete
