Ahh so they use putty to fix the pane of glass to the wood? I should check out some other videos to see what they do. It doesn't have a wood like texture and as you say I can see the wood underneath. I found a video and I'm confident now it's putty. Thank you very much. I have some linseed...

Part of the wood on the exterior of a sash window is rotten and some is missing, as seen in the photo. I can remove more of it with my finger but I don't think the entire length (height) will come away easily. The wood looks to have encased the glass. I'd like to know if this is a quick fix...
