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.

21x33 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 15x27 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.

Even when I have to write a simple letter I'm scared stiff, as if faced with looming seasickness. ♦ Gustav Klimt

Renowned for his ornate and evocative paintings, Gustav Klimt candidly reveals a vulnerability that contrasts with the confidence of his brushwork. It's an admission that, regardless of the heights we achieve in our chosen field, there are areas outside our expertise that challenge our self-assurance.

This sentiment is all too familiar. We may find solace in the rhythmic movement of our hands across canvas, but may falter when tasked with articulating our thoughts in written or spoken word. Klimt's confession serves as a gentle reminder that every one of us has strengths and insecurities. As we navigate our art careers, it's essential to recognize that these vulnerabilities do not diminish our worth or talent. Instead, they humanize us, forging deeper connections with others who might share similar apprehensions.
