And in one minute, too ! He makes it look easy: just completely deconstruct an historic window (with 76 pieces of glass

Barnsdall has some of the best glass in the FLW catalogue. Simple, elegant, not overdone.
Although Ennis has leaded glass of a later date, Barnsdall was FLW's last (executed) design with metal cames; Ennis was changed from a wood-camed design to one completely out of FLW's control. He apparently (and probably halfheartedly) approved of the Ennis designs, however.
