Muntons Are Not Sheep

Windows on the stair landing are painted poorly with paint bubbles filling in the indentations of the ogee routing on the muntuns. The sill is also rough. Stripping was done with a heat gun, this turned out to be a bit tricky to peel the paint and varnish without cracking the panes. Shielding the glass with the putty knife helped limit the damage to just two cracked panes. These were replaced with period glass to retain the slight ripple in the lights. Picking out the paint form the details and sanding was particularly laborious. Since the wood was fir and had been previously stained dark, only natural stain was usable to even out the sanding before final varnish.
