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.

Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests

Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future. Increasing our number of trees is just as essential to our economy, as the harvest itself, which is why we select only timber harvested from responsibly managed forests.

21x81 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 15x75 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.

You can't depend upon your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. ♦ Mark Twain

Mark Twain, one of America's most celebrated humorists and writers, often had a keen way of observing the intricacies of the human experience. This sentiment captures a profound truth about the artist's perspective. It is not just the eyes that see; it's the mind's imaginative lens that truly perceives.

How often have artists gazed upon a familiar scene only to be inspired by a new angle, a different light, or a fresh emotion? The landscape remains the same, but it's the artist's altered imagination that transforms the mundane into the marvelous. Without a vivid imagination, even the most beautiful sights can appear dull and unremarkable. Conversely, with the right imaginative focus, even the most ordinary of subjects can be transformed into works of unparalleled beauty. Twain's words act as a reminder that our true vision comes from within, from the depths of our creativity and passion. It challenges us to constantly fine-tune our inner lens, ensuring that we always view the world with clarity, innovation, and boundless imagination.
