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.

Sustainably Managed Forests Coexist with Mankind

We use lumber grown in the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, where there’s more standing timber today than last century! There will always be a demand for wood pulp and fiber, but striking a harmonious balance with human coexistence is the essential strategy to which we subscribe. Sustainably managed forests increase our health and abundance of our forests which can be in harmony with this precious natural resource.

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.

101x106 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 95x100 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.

Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

The tormented and brilliant Vincent Van Gogh, whose art has touched the souls of many, lived a life characterized by profound emotions and tumultuous relationships. With a career overshadowed by mental health struggles, his relationships, whether with family or friends, were sources of both solace and sorrow. Yet, it was these very emotions, stemming from love and human connections, that fueled much of his artistic genius.

The emotional landscapes we traverse are intricately woven into the fabric of our creations. Love, in all its complexity, often stands as a dominant force. While it may bring about challenges, it's undeniable that love, whether for a person, a place, or a passion, propels us forward. This energy, this fervor, is what brings vibrancy to our canvases, depth to our sculptures, and soul to our performances.

In considering our own paths, it's heartening to reflect upon the ways love has shaped our output. Despite the adversities it can introduce, love remains a wellspring of inspiration. Van Gogh's sentiment serves as a gentle reminder that, even in the face of difficulty, love's energy is an unparalleled force in driving our most profound and impactful creations.
