Last fall we replaced our Pearson windows. After thirty years, the plastic
tracks had almost completely disintigrated, but the cedar they were stapled
into was as good as new. I removed the hardware and sliced some of it into
strips, then glued up a few panels. Here's a picture of the mailbox I made
out of them:

That was some nice grain in that wood.
Something tells me they dont make windows like that anymore either.

Good thing, too. The wood was the only good thing about those windows.

Once upon a time, I thought about making mailboxes for our local thrice
annual artisans walk and sale. Then it occurred to me that they would
never sell because we don't get home delivery. Oh well...

p.s. exquisite job on the box.

Very nice.
