Decided to do a bit of googling before hacking up the warped shed window frame.
Ended up clamping the bottom bar in between some wood after washing it down. Then the next day remembered I still have my mum's steamer, so went at it with that and left it for a few days.
The result was a much straighter bit of wood.
Still did a bit of filing back to help give some space to the hot spots to let it sit a bit straighter and drilled a pilot hole to screw the centre piece from the bottom to pull and hold it. It's not straight, but from holding it up to the window it looks as if it will fit and open.
Then lots of holes for the wood hardener to penetrate.
Then fill the holes.
Then slapped on a load of spare end grain sealer - not sure what it will do, but figured it's got to do some protection and because it's so runny it should soak in a bit.
Next is paint. Then cleaning the windows - which I expect will take much longer than I think.
