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 is about Reducing Deforestation

Choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber is an important way for consumers to make a positive impact on the environment. By supporting sustainable forestry practices, we can help to reduce deforestation, promote biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. It's a simple and effective way to make a difference.

21x72 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 15x66 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.

From this, the treasure secretly gathered in your heart will become evident through your creative work. ♦ Albrecht Dürer

Albrecht Dürer, a master of the Northern Renaissance, was known for not just his intricate artworks, but also his profound understanding of human emotion and the artist's soul. This statement reflects a core belief he held: that genuine art stems from the deepest recesses of the artist's heart. For Dürer, art was more than just a display of skill; it was a window into the artist's innermost feelings, desires, and vulnerabilities.

This idea is universal and timeless. Many artists, even today, can attest to the transformative power of emotions and experiences in shaping their craft. The joys, sorrows, triumphs, and challenges we face leave imprints on our hearts. When artists channel these emotions into their work, the authenticity shines through, making it more relatable and moving to the viewer. For us, it serves as a reminder that our personal stories, no matter how hidden, are the richest sources of inspiration. By embracing our true selves and the myriad of feelings within, our creative work becomes a testament to the beauty and complexity of the human spirit.
