WOODWORKING QUIZ for 21st Jan. 2005
As you can see by my name I am definitely not Ralph and upon his return I shall disappear, promise! I am not as knowledgable as the inimitable Ralph and shall have trouble being as regular but I shall attempt to help fill a large void in a small way.
OK Forumites, an easy one to start with:
What is a "Muntin"?

I think it's a part of a window frame, but it's not the main frame.
Or something like that!

its the vertical framing bit between door panels and its used often in drawer construction to strengthen the drawer bottom at least thats what I call it.

Thanks to Beejay1, I now remember its a vertical framing addition to the centre of a multiple glass framed window, which gives strength to hold the multiple glass windows in a window.
If you have a window with nine pieces of glass all individually framed, then the centre frame is, or has, a muntin, which is a strengthening frame that more or less holds it all together.
After reading this it doesn't make sense but I know what I'm talking about, I think!

This got me thinking so I decided to Google it:-
When a window has more than one pane, the material that seperates the panes is called the muntin. The Larger, more decorative seperations are called mullions. In stained glass windows, each piece of coloured glass is held in place by a muntin. These were traditionally made of iron.

A muntin is a strip of wood or metal separating and holding panes of glass in a window.
