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.

Our Ecosystem Depends on Healthy Forests
Forests play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. They absorb carbon dioxide, filter air and water, and provide habitat for countless species of plants and animals. By using sustainably sourced lumber, we can help to protect these important ecosystems and ensure that they continue to provide these valuable services for generations to come.

♦ Francisco de Goya
The Spanish romantic painter Francisco de Goya, known for his unflinching depictions of human nature and the turbulence of society, found himself amidst the dramatic upheavals of Spain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Goya's art, characterized by its raw emotion and stark realism, often seemed to mirror the chaos and struggles of his time. Yet, beneath the layers of dark tones and haunting imagery, there lies a profound acceptance of human limitations.
This notion of understanding and accepting one's boundaries is both a challenge and a relief. In the realm of creation, where aspirations soar high and dreams are vast, there's a thin line between pushing one's boundaries and recognizing one's limits. While the external world often demands masterpieces and perfection, it's essential to remember that our truest art stems from authenticity. It's in our genuine attempts, our sincere efforts, and our honest expressions that the essence of art is captured. We don't always have to conquer mountains; sometimes, painting them is enough.
We offer you these words of wisdom and our take on the message in hope to inspire your art. We also pay tribute by creating this unique portrait of Francisco de Goya. Go paint!
