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.

Sustainability Fights Against Climate-Change
Sustainable forestry practices are an important tool in the fight against climate change. By using lumber from sustainably managed forests in our products, we can help to reduce the carbon footprint of our business and support the health of the planet. It's a win-win for everyone involved.
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.
121x126 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 115x120 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.

♦ Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh's life was a tapestry of brilliance interwoven with personal torment. Each brushstroke on his canvas, vibrant and full of emotion, mirrored the complexities of his own journey. Living in a world that often misunderstood his genius, he endured hardships that many of us would find unimaginable.
It's tempting to romanticize the suffering artist archetype, but Van Gogh's wisdom prompts us to reflect on a deeper message. In the face of adversity, it's not the pain that defines us, but how we respond to it. As artists, we often channel our struggles into our work, turning anguish into masterpieces. This transformative power of creation reminds us that while pain is inevitable, our spirit's resilience is boundless. The essence of our journey isn't just about enduring but rising above, using our art as a beacon of hope for others and ourselves.
We've handpicked this quote and our interpretation of it's meaning to inspire your art. And we honor the legacy of Vincent Van Gogh by creating this one-of-a-kind portrait to tie it all together. Start Painting!
