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.

Sustainable Forests Ensure More Wood for Communities

Using lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only the responsible thing to do, it's also a way to ensure that the wood products we rely on continue to be available in the future. By supporting sustainable forestry practices, we can help to ensure a steady supply of wood products while also protecting the environment and supporting local communities.

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.

45x72 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 39x66 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.

The good God is in the detail. ♦ Auguste Rodin

The renowned French sculptor, Auguste Rodin understood the profound importance of meticulous attention to detail in the artistic process. Born in Paris in 1840, Rodin's journey to becoming one of the most influential sculptors of his time was filled with dedication and a relentless pursuit of artistic excellence.

His sculptures, such as The Thinker and The Kiss, are celebrated for their intricate details and emotional depth. His belief that divinity resides in the minutiae of art reflects his own artistic philosophy. Rodin's sculptures often captured the subtleties of human expression and form, and he believed that it was these nuances that breathed life into his creations.

As artists, we share in Rodin's reverence for the details. Our brushes, chisels, and pens are our instruments of devotion, allowing us to infuse our work with the essence of our subjects. In every brushstroke and carefully crafted line, we echo Rodin's sentiment that the divine can indeed be found in the meticulous attention to detail. It is through this unwavering commitment that we, too, bring our art to life, ensuring that our creations connect with the world in a profound and meaningful way.
