MacOS – Make Finder Windows Tiny

findermacos

Is it possible to set OSX to allow tiny finder windows? The minimum window size on 10.9.5 is 452 x 294. On a 30" monitor, 452 x 294 is still much larger than I need; wasting screen real estate. On some unix systems the window manager allows the windows to be quite small.

Is this possible on OSX? I've googled, searched Stack Exchange. I'm not finding anything.

This window would be just as useful at half it's current size:
