Hi Dan!

The pine framing inside the laminated outer frame was cut precisely to match whatever angle was needed where it attached at the outer frame. Then I used wood glue and pilot drilled for 3” deck screws through the outer frame into the pine frame. I’m no construction expert, but I know originally this frame was put together with just small galvanized nails, so I figured the screws would be plenty and the glue would do most of the work anyways.

As for attaching the paneling, I laid the frame on the floor and laid glue on the face of every frame member and then stapled the paneling to it using 1” pneumatic staples. Again relying on the glue making the strongest connection. I then routed out the windows and outside shape after the glue cured. I coated the entire frame in west systems epoxy before insulating and laying the outer skin on.

The interior stain I can’t remember, but I’m pretty sure it was varathane classic oak. Two coats.
