There is significant insect damage from termites in this window, so we decided to replace it with a new sash. There was very little wood left to restore anyway. The original wood sash is douglas fir. After pricing douglas fir today, we decided on pine. With a good quality paint and proper maintenance it is comparable. The exterior casement around the window frames were in bad shape as well. We wanted to create an exterior casement profile that would match the existing.
