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.

- 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.
What is Sustainable Forestry?
To a forester, the term "sustainable" could mean exercising industry adopted forestry practices to maintain a forest indefinitely. To a logger, the process of proper care for the trees remaining after a harvest. To a landowner, their interest may lie in keeping their forest in the family. And to those of involved in the process of making and using wood-based art supplies, it can mean promoting and supporting an industry dedicated to the preservation of our precious natural resource. We can all do our part to care for our national forests.

♦ Robert Delaunay
Exploring the avant-garde realm of Orphism, Delaunay blurred the lines between present inspirations and future imaginings. His work, often ahead of its time, encapsulated this very sentiment. Just as ripples in a pond predict the trajectory of a tossed stone, Delaunay believed that contemporary art was not merely a reflection of the now but a harbinger of what's to come.
This perspective holds profound significance for artists. We're not just shaping clay, mixing colors, or arranging notes; we're sending messages into tomorrow. Our creations are seeds, and the art world of the future will be the forest they birth. Delaunay's observation urges us to be mindful of the echoes we send forth, ensuring they are imbued with intention, vision, and hope.
As we honor the legacy of Robert Delaunay, we've created our own portrait as well as pass along these words of wisdom and our take on the message. Get to work on yours!
