finally got around to cutting/fitting/glazing the glass and finishing the windows from this thread.
i put any ole leftover oil varnish i have lying around as a sealer first, just a single coat. these are cypress, which often has issues due to the watery residue in the wood with oil primers adhering properly, so an oil sealer will eliminate that.
after that, on the insides, garnet shellac, 4-5 lightly sprayed coats. they'll get a coat of waterlox tomorrow after the shellac is set up good. i use sherwinn williams oil primer/oil enamel on the outsides.

one thing i didn't notice until sanding and tacking them, what's left of a shotgun pellet. right in the middle of the top of a muntin, too. kinda late in the game to try to remove it so i just finished over it, the shellac blackened it up so it just looks like a pinhole knot, it'll just have to live there.
