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

The concept of sustainability presupposes a comprehensive engagement of individuals in the art and science of forest stewardship, both in the present and for the well-being of generations to come. Humanity undoubtedly extracts wood from forests to supplement our needs, but they also play a crucial role in bestowing diligent care upon these ecosystems. This stewardship encompasses not only the responsible harvesting of forest resources but also extends to the safeguarding of clean water sources, the preservation of wildlife and their native habitats, and the mitigation of potential threats like erosion, fires, and diseases that could otherwise lead to untimely degradation of these precious woodlands.

Masterpiece® uses only lumber harvested from responsibly and sustainably managed timberlands.

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

We source our wood from a select group of top-tier environmentally conscious lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. These mills specially dry and heat-treat the lumber to our specifications, resulting in about half the moisture content compared to wood from typical home improvement centers or lumber yards. This process makes the wood stronger, reducing the likelihood of cracking, splitting, or warping. While the wood we use comes at a higher cost, it ensures a more dimensionally stable end product. This stability is crucial for crafting fine professional canvases that support your invaluable art over time.

The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do? ♦ Auguste Rodin

A sculptor renowned for his groundbreaking approach to form and movement, Auguste Rodin captured in this statement the zeitgeist of his era—a time of tumultuous change and shifting societal norms. When the world around us feels chaotic, art can serve as both a reflection of that chaos and a refuge from it.

We often find ourselves responding to the complexities of our times, mirroring the prevailing moods, anxieties, and aspirations. We don't necessarily aim to create clarity where there is none, but rather to interpret, express, and even challenge the world's seeming absurdities. In doing so, we invite observers to confront these complexities, to find their own meanings, or simply to experience emotion without the constraint of logic.

Art doesn't always have to make sense, just as life doesn't. In moments of societal upheaval or personal turmoil, the canvas, the sculpture, or the song becomes a space where we can grapple with the incomprehensible. In that freedom of expression, we might not find answers, but we can offer perspectives, evoke feelings, and perhaps, in our own way, bring a touch of understanding to the enigma that is existence.

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.
