A friend of mine, Louis, has a business making hardwood windows for conservation projects. Louis had been borrowing a lovely white octagonal wood burner with fret worked paneled sides. I always told him I'd want it back if I ever got myself a narrowboat. As we already have three wood burners in our boats, we decided that we didn't need it.
We struck a deal where Louis would make us six frames from some hardwood he'd had lying around in exchange for some cash and the woodburner |
Just need to 'glaze' them with perspex and fit new hinges and window stays. |
