I decided to make the dining room window a little different looking.I left the lower pane full and split the upper only.Later I will do more weathering using pastels.You can see by the L/H window that the plexiglass pane is rough cut and the wood strips are used to line everything up.I was spending way too much time trying to cut the plexiglass a perfect 90 deg when it is only covered by the strips.Lexan is very strong and does not take to kindly to shaping and sanding using hand tools.Power sanders only melt the plastic ,so I rough cut them on my scroll saw and let it go at that.
