Mini windows again

nid_dabeilleLook 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!
