Vincent™ Pro 7/8" Deep Bar • 5/16" Canvas Clearance

5/16" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

• Produces a 7/8" deep stretched canvas
• 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Selective Harvesting in our Sustainable Forests

Intelligent selective harvesting of timber is an ecological method to replace the natural occurrences of forest fires and disease and landslides that can devastate forests. This is all part of the process of sustainable forest management to which we subscribe when we choose which lumber we use in our products.

Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys. ♦ Mary Cassatt

While Mary Cassatt is largely celebrated for her brilliant depictions of motherhood and familial intimacy, this particular sentiment paints a broader landscape of leadership and trust. Drawing a parallel between the unwavering trust of children and that of soldiers, Cassatt's words hint at the profound bond that can form when those in positions of authority lead with empathy and genuine concern.

In the realm of art, the lesson is equally poignant. Artists, when working collaboratively, often find themselves in roles of guidance and mentorship. By treating collaborators with the same care and respect we'd show our own kin, we cultivate a climate of mutual trust. Such bonds empower us to take creative risks, venture into uncharted territories, and ultimately, produce groundbreaking works. In the embrace of such an environment, we find the strength to navigate the unpredictable terrain of the art world, knowing that we have a supportive community marching alongside us.
