Elite™ Professional 1.5" Deep B2 Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance

A Canvas Clearance of 1/2" 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.

No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Sustainable Environment Promotes a Sustainable Economy

The use of lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only environmentally responsible, it also helps to support the economy and preserve jobs in the forestry industry. By choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber, consumers can help to ensure that these industries remain strong and sustainable for years to come.

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

Our wood is handpicked from a curated group of environmentally responsible lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. By adhering to our precise drying and heat-treatment standards, these mills produce lumber with nearly half the moisture you'd find in common home improvement outlets or lumber yards. This meticulous process not only enhances the wood's strength—minimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bends—but also elevates its dimensional stability. Such quality, despite its premium, is paramount in creating professional canvases designed to uphold the sanctity of your cherished art throughout the years.

112x126 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 106x120 Frame

Please note that you will need a canvas that is at least 6 Inches larger than the actual frame size to ensure proper stretching. This will provide ample material to stretch the canvas and attach it to the back of the frame. If you prefer to attach the canvas from the edge of the stretcher frame, you can reduce the size of your canvas by approximately 3/4" all the way around the frame. This will allow you to paint on the edge of the canvas and hang your artwork without needing a separate picture frame. And, if you ever need to remove the canvas from the frame and re-attach it, you'll have enough material to do that too.

Everything starts from a dot. ♦ Wassily Kandinsky

Often hailed as the pioneer of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky saw the universe in its minutiae. His approach to art was as revolutionary as his ideas were profound. For Kandinsky, the essence of art was not in the complexity or the grandeur, but in the simple and unpretentious beginnings.

A dot, the most basic of shapes, holds infinite potential. It can grow into a line, multiply into a pattern, or explode into a myriad of colors and forms. Much like the first brushstroke on a blank canvas or the initial idea that sparks a masterpiece, everything has a humble beginning. It's a sentiment that artists, whether seasoned or novices, can relate to. We understand that grand visions often come from modest origins, and magnificent artworks can grow from a single, simple thought.

In our art careers, it's crucial to remember the power and potential of starting small. Every masterpiece, every iconic work, began with a single step, a single idea, a single dot. Kandinsky's wisdom reminds us to cherish beginnings and to see potential in even the tiniest of sparks.
