Mark that looks awesome! Nice clean, tight joints. Did you stick the muntins & mullions with a sash plane? If so you are my hero lol

Edit: You posted the second pics while I was typing. Turns out you are my hero

That plane! I need one just to rub on some wood for a while.

Wonderful work on the joinery. Did you take any pictures of the joint taken apart to show the joinery details?

One of the reasons we love hand tools!

Wow awesome looking sash. Where did you find your sash plane? I would love to find a sash plane that matches my early 20th century sashes, I have 5/8” muntins with the most graceful ovolo profile.

Thanks Robert! I bought my stick & rabbet ( sash ) plane from Todd Herrli about 18 years ago, along with a matching coping plane. Life got in the way & I never used them until this cherry country hutch I am building. 8EB518BB-0D97-4A47-AA87-18C2832C08AE.jpg

Excellent work Mark. Making sash is one of the fussier and more difficult forms of hand tool woodworking. Gads, I haven't heard the name Todd Herrli in quite a while.

Thanks for the information Mark. I know it’s important to get both the sash plane and the matching cope plane or the proper template..

I know from repairing a few window sashes its a drag to have to cope by hand with carving gouges..

Mark, thanks for the added images, it is making me want to make something with sash and glass.

Some of the sash blades that have come my way for a Stanley #45 were modified by previous owners for custom or matching work. It isn't as hard as it may seem.
