Mini windows again

Look at my stern windows! (Still in progress.)


Made totally from scratch! I had to cut every little piece of wood and glue it in place! The hardest - or most time consuming part - was making the sashing bars for all the little panes, because each piece was an individual little tiny thinner-than-toothpick piece of wood. And actually I had to cut them in half, lengthwise, because they looked too thick.
I haven't decided what to do for glazing. I've thought of leaving them open with no glass, but I have a few different options to consider.
And NO, they don't open. *glares at anyone who dares criticize* I did THINK of making them openable, and it wouldn't have been too terribly much more difficult - oh who am I kidding? It WOULD have been much more difficult, and plus I didn't have the hardware, hinges and such. And it would have meant I would have to make a glazing decision right now, and and and... gah! So they are glued in place, immovable. And that's that!

Plus, it's a very small room, only a section of the great cabin, not even the whole cabin, so I don't think it includes the section with the skylight.
There, I've rationalized it away. Phew! :D (Though a skylight would look nice...)

Btw, well done, for explaining the skylight away.
You had also asked me Stephen Bear's face measurements a while ago for a pair of glasses. Well, it is 2/8inch between his eyes, to the ears it is 14/8inch, and the sides would have to be 14/8inch to get them up and around his ears. Thought I'd mention that. ;D

Btw, I have sent you mails with several links to photos of Surprise (on Surprise) of October 28th. ;D
