Sash Cords
We all know the annoyance of a broken sash cord. Natural fiber ropes are the weakest link in an historic double hung window. Modern braided nylon rope with outlast old cotton rope by fifty years. It's supple and attractive and is pictured here. Most commonly, we use solid brass sash chain, both are good options and attractive for different reasons. Here the white paint inside and out and the small pulleys seemed to call for cord not chain. Fabrication of sash like this is relatively easy if a hundred or more are made. To make one pair quickly and well is truly fine wood working.
