I not sure what I would need to do to make them dual glazed. Make the
rabbet deeper ?

Yes, but not much. Contact your local glass vendor and get the dimensions
before you build them.

This is good "advise". DAMHIKT

As for wood, I used vertical grain fir. The only problem was it tended to
chipout/split when routing the profiles. I ended up using backer boards and
taking smaller cuts to achieve a nice finish.

Other wood choices wood include Cypress, Southern Yellow Clear Pine. I'm
sure others will add to the list.

Clear Western Red Cedar would be my choice, both for dimensional
stability and resistance to rot.

Since everybody else is bragging, here are some of the windows I've
made:

Top is a solarium with 14 windows (28 double glazed sash & 14
screened). Bottom is a greenhouse with 18 sash with two lights. Most
of the glass was recycled.

On another issue, I would not trust stub tenons. But the appropriate
shaper cutters for full tenons are apparently hard to get. My solution
was to mitre the sticking. Bad ASCII art of a corner viewed from the
inside. (The outside of the window has a stop to hold the glazing)
