Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated. ♦ Auguste Rodin

August Rodin, the mastermind behind the iconic sculpture The Thinker, is not just celebrated for his deft hands, but also for his profound insights into the essence of art. In his prolific career, he sculpted not just with clay and bronze, but also with ideas, passion, and a deep respect for nature.

For artists, Rodin's words serve as a gentle reminder that art is as much about the process as it is about the final product. It's in the moments of contemplation, in the silent conversations with nature, that we find the spirit that animates our creations. It's a dance between the external world and our internal musings. And while the world may admire the tangible artwork we produce, it's this dance, this pleasure of the mind, that fuels us and keeps us forever in search of that elusive spirit in nature.
