Default removing old putty

Hi, I have just picked up a wooden sliding door and window. They are a
colonial style and each of the three sections (Fixed window, sliding door
and windout - awning window) have 10 small pieces of glass in frames. The
windows/door are made of Australian wood - Tasmanian Oak and were painted.
I will be stripping them back to stain a maple colour to match my other
windows/doors. Is there any easy way to remove the putty from the window.
Most of the putty is hard and very difficult to remove. Thanks in advance
