UPcycled Sash Windows

Found these beauties at HIPPO Hardware in Portland. A truly crazy place with crazy prices. But if you can talk the talk, there is a possibility to whittle them down so they only make a 300% profit.

Beautiful original Stain Grade Fir with the oil separating from the schellac. Most old sash windows have a century of paint caked on them. Not these. Original stain and finish from the early 1900's. Cool little bumps form after the decades have expedited chemical decay--I call it Reptile skin.

The glass was solid--no cracks or chips. So it became a grease board for the office.

Some brass screws in a few beefy wall anchors and a few trim screws angled into the wall on the bottom and this thing is solid.
