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.

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.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular. ♦ Aristotle

Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher and polymath, was not only a master of philosophy but also a thinker who appreciated the profound essence of art and its connection to the human experience. His words on poetry's philosophical depth offer a fascinating insight into his beliefs and the relevance of art to our lives as artists.

Born in 384 BCE in Stagira, Greece, Aristotle's influence on numerous fields, including ethics, politics, and metaphysics, is immeasurable. Yet, his thoughts on poetry and art reveal a deep understanding of their significance. Aristotle believed that poetry, with its ability to capture universal truths and emotions, transcends the mere recording of historical events. It delves into the essence of the human condition, exploring themes and ideas that resonate with artists and audiences across time.

As artists, we find solace in Aristotle's wisdom, for it reminds us that our creations, whether through painting, sculpture, or any other form of artistic expression, have the power to touch the universal aspects of the human experience. Our work goes beyond the confines of history, connecting with people on a profound level by expressing timeless truths and emotions that bridge the gap between the particular and the universal.
