I recently the restoration of a
window for Dunblane Masonic Lodge. Made up of four panels, the window
was made in 1891 and features two large figures with emblems above. The

reproducing some painted sections, UV Gluing to repair breaks, and
rebuilding the panels with new leads. This work is carried out in the
