Bovard Studio recommends our exterior wood frames be made with South American plantation grown mahogany or the heartwood of Eastern White Pine. Both are 100-year exterior quality woods that with proper maintenance can last more than a century.

The client can choose the desired finish. For paint grade finishes, we recommend Sherwin-Williams Duration® Coating which lasts 25 to 30 years on new wood and only requires standard painting processes to refinish when required by time.

Whether you are looking for lasting beauty, to make a statement in living color, or any other characteristic of stained glass, our artists can provide the solution. We create only that truly great beauty needed to support your tradition and/or embrace your faith. We have learned how to work with our clients to include the symbolism essential to their faith while preserving the feeling behind their design.

Bovard Studio has the experienced staff to design and construct custom wood doors. We can work with your architect, duplicate existing doors, or provide you with a design based on our years of experience and your desires or ideas. We work with the finest woods and have a complete and fully equipped 4,500 sq ft woodshop. We can provide custom finishes, stains and hardware. Our expert staff can also supply installation.

Some windows have etching, others have silver staining, plating, traditional glass staining colors, transparent and opaque enamels, stenciling, silk screening and/or medallions. Most windows have a combination of several of these treatments
