Jeld-wen sash repair?

Hom\\pefully someone can assist with this one?



I've purchased a home that has 18 rather large cottage style Jeld-Wen windows. For whatever reason on two of them the bottom wood on the lower sash has rotted. I've contacted my nearest dealer and they've stated that I must purchase a sash replacement which includes the glass for a cost of approx $600 each not including delivery and installation.



Is anyone familiar with insulated windows aware of a method to have someone create a replacement piece to fit on the bottom of these sashes? Something like a mill shop or anything? I hate to be cheap but there seems to be nothing wrong with the glass and that seems like it would be the most expensive portion of these 36 x 72" window units.



Any ideas or suggestions please?

How old are the windows? Jeld-Wen has a 20 year warranty that is transferable to new owners.
