Lisa wanted to buy a door with a window for the door that let's us go out the side door of the house and go downstairs to the cellar. I figured it would be fun to try a project that would add character to the room and be in line with the olde country kitchen style she put together when we added on to the kitchen a few years ago.

| Mark off the area where the cuts need to be made. |
 |
| Allow MAX to inspect the lines to make sure that they are correct. |
 |
| Use masking tape to keep the saw blade from making splinters and tearing wood on the door. |
 |
| I hung the door back up. MAX wanted to keep going on adventures in the cellar. |
 |
| Use clamps to hold wood strips until the glue dries. |
 |
| Glue solid pieces of wood inside the hollow door. |
 |
| I used scrap pieces of walnut that was left over from turkey call projects. |
 |
| I purchased seeded glass from a glass store. Lisa thinks the glass looks "older". I used smaller pieces of wood for the trim to hold the glass in place. |
 |
| I need to find a darker stain for the outside trim pieces. I want something closer to the walnut. |
That is a quick overview of the window in the door project. The glass was the most expensive piece. It cost me $33.00 for the pane of glass and I cut the pieces to fit. The outside trim and rosette corners were less than $14.00. Existing door and scrap wood didn't cost anything.
