A bunch of them. What, exactly, do you mean by 'fancy'?

Hey RC -

Fancy meaning mullions with a decorative routed edge - not just square.

Like something you'd see on a nice china cabinet.

There was a program on "The Router Workshop" which showed how to create such
doors. You can get the plans from them.

After making windows for my front room,

I found that making the mullions tricky. I used the CMT set
http://www.medfordtools.com/cmt/windowsash.html
(link is for reference only)
To make the window sashes and mullions. The real tricky part had to
do with the vertical grain fir I used. Tearout was hard to control.
If and when I make any more windows, I'll use a different wood and more use
of backer boards when milling the mullions.

You're talking about true mullions, not just decorative overlays on wood?

I assume, then, that the problem is coping them -- making the contours
match at places where the mullions meet?

See the instruction sheet w/ the CMT window sash set.

Delta has an instruction sheet on producing windows and doors, etc.
Don't have the copy here for the part number but I suspect it's still
available if you ask.

I highly recommend the Delta sheet although it relies on a stub shaft
cutter to make the cope cut for the full-length tenon of a classical
window sash.

Most router sets these days are designed only for the stub tenon which
looks ok but isn't nearly as strong as the full tenon.
