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.

 

Forests need People, and People Need Forests

Using lumber from sustainably managed forests is a way to support the health and well-being of our planet and its inhabitants. By choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber, we can help to protect the environment, support local communities, and ensure a sustainable future for generations 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 strengthÑminimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bendsÑbut 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.

 

28x97 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 22x91 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.
 

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

One of our most appreciated products helps make your canvas tighter! Stretching a canvas tightly can be a challenge. Our Frame Kits include the Corner and Brace Keys that you will need to add tension, but Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Re-Tensioner is a way that you can use to add tension to the canvas without needed to use the keys. It canvas be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets. Recommended for acrylic primed cotton or linen canvas. We do not recommend it for oil primed canvas because there are simply too many different types of oil primed canvas, but used conservatively at your own risk, it will tension any canvas.

Obstacles cannot crush me; every obstacle yields to stern resolve. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, a polymath of the Renaissance era, was more than just an extraordinary artist. He was an inventor, scientist, mathematician, and writer. His endless curiosity about the world around him led him to explore and conquer various fields of study, making him an epitome of determination and resilience. He had notebooks filled with innumerable sketches and observations of the various challenges he faced Ð be it his flying machines that never took off or anatomical studies that went against the normative beliefs of his time.

Obstacles are an intrinsic part of the creative process. Whether it's the challenge of mastering a new technique, expressing a particularly intricate emotion, or even battling the infamous Ôartist's block', we've all faced moments of doubt and frustration. Yet, as he implies, it's not the challenges themselves but our reaction to them that makes the difference. By harnessing our inner resolve and determination, we can turn these barriers into stepping stones, opportunities for growth and learning. Indeed, it's often in the face of adversity that our most profound work emerges.

Leonardo provides us with countless examples of how he confronted his challenges with an indomitable spirit. As creators, we too face our own challenges. He urges us to not only face them, but to embrace them, like a symphony of experiences, helping us evolve and grow stronger, one obstacle at a time.


Creativity is a dance between inspiration and innovation. Our own self portrait creation of Leonardo da Vinci twirls alongside these profound words, hoping to set the stage for your next artistic performance. Now go do your dance on the canvas!
