Description by Sanne

We have made a custom-made windowsill for the bay window of my new apartment.

How I made this project

Because there was an asymmetrical shape in the bay window of this 1910 house, we decided to order a rectangular carpentry panel. And not the pre-cut trapezium. We carefully marked the shape of the bay window on this. So all sides and angles were measured. The edges were then sawn and sanded. Finally, we primed and varnished the plank. We insulated the radiators underneath with radiator foil before finishing the shelf with acrylic sealant.
