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.
Sustainably Managed Forests Inhale and Exhale
The world's forests are essential to human survival. Forests inhale carbon dioxide for the earth, and exhale oxygen essential for life. When we speak of the sustainable forest strategy of ensuring that more timber will exist in the same forest land than exists today, this is the only viable plan for the future of humanity. For this reason, we use only lumber from the sustainable forests of Oregon, Washington, and California, where thereÕs more standing timber today than last century!

One forges one's style on the terrible anvil of daily deadlines.
♦ Emile Zola
A titan of French literature and a prominent figure in the Naturalist movement, Emile Zola knew the rigors and pressures of the writing world intimately. With a career that produced a plethora of novels, essays, and articles, Zola was no stranger to the relentless demands of the pen and the ticking clock.
While deadlines might be viewed as burdens, Zola's perspective encourages us to see them as crucibles, essential in shaping and refining our craft. As artists, we too are familiar with the tension between inspiration and limitation, between the boundless imagination and the very real constraints of time. Yet, it's within these confines that creativity often thrives, pushing us to innovate, adapt, and ultimately, define our unique voice.
The grind of daily commitments, be they self-imposed or external, forces us to prioritize, to distill our ideas to their essence, and to consistently show up in our workspaces. It's a potent reminder that mastery and style aren't just born out of leisurely contemplation but are often carved out of the hard rock of discipline and consistency. For those of us in the arts, Zola's words echo the timeless truth: Pressure, while daunting, can also be the catalyst for brilliance.
Creativity, the silent force beckoning you, finds its voice here. Harmonize your artistic process with these indelible words and meaning by Emile Zola, and with our unique portrayal of a self portrait to inspire an enhanced melody in your art. Go make your music on canvas!
Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner
While all of our Masterpiece® Pro canvases are stretched very tightly and our frames have a built-in method to increase tension, we have another method to add canvas tension. Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner (sold separately) can 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.
