Front of broken Sidelight. |
Damage at the top of the Sidelight |
The hard part about this repair was that the glass that was broken was in the middle of the entire panel. That meant an almost total deconstruction. I started by having a wood working friend help me remove the panel from the wood frame. While I was busy fixing the glass, he sanded, re-stained (the inside), painted (the outside) and sealed the beautiful oak wood work.
