We have rebuilt two barn doors and now a window shutter for the small animal barn. All have reused existing wood which had been improperly braced, or now served as a pattern and both provided great old hardware. In the case of this old window shutter, we bought new 3/8" plywood, a 3/4" X 6" pine board and 3/4" primed Quarter Round Moulding since only the hardware could be saved. Although the design appears to be simple, it took some calculating to make the corner interior board cuts and not one triangle matches another. Locktight 3X Carpenters Glue and galvanized nails were used to assemble all of the parts which will get plenty of weather exposure. The Quarter Round gets added to the triangles.
