The old wooden beams in this window are not in good condition as they have been out in the open for a long time without any protection.
We are going to repair these damages and give it a color tone according to the window.
We sand them with coarse sandpaper and we give it with a metal brush.
We see that the typical wood insects have done their thing.
We apply an ointment based on an anticarcoma treatment and a little diesel oil with a brush, insisting on the worst areas so that it penetrates well.
Then we cover the damage with homemade putty, made from sawdust, glue and a little of the previous ointment.
It is applied with a spatula.
Let it dry well and sand again.
Taking into account that they will continue to be out in the open, we put a wax with a little diesel. We see that the color is now more similar to that of the window.
We are going to cover the gap between the beams and the window with a wooden strip.
We cut it and glue it with a contact glue.
We seal the joints with the same homemade putty.
We hide the imperfections and areas of the putty with a wood stain.
Once dry we sand gently.
We again apply another coat of wax with diesel, an operation that we will have to continue repeating at least once a year.
And ready.
Beams like new and totally matching the window.
Thank you.
