Custom beveling on our antique Henry Lang 1915 machinery
Our studio prides itself in investing in ourselves, in working and perfecting our craft over time. Here, Wayne inspects a bevel he is working on for a custom beveled glass window soon to go into a home outside of Richmond, Virginia. Over 30 years ago, Wayne taught himself to bevel on glass, without the aid of YouTube or Google, and researched all he could find on beveling glass at the Library of Congress in DC. After taking what he could from the books, he worked for years practicing until he mastered the craft. Now, our studio is one of few left in the country to do custom hand bevels on antique machines, using low speeds to give our bevels the same warm glow you see in 200 year old windows up and down the east coast. Our polishing stones, from Newcastle, England, helps us distinguish our bevels from those done on industrial diamond equipment, which in turn makes our windows sparkle.
