Masterpiece Classic™ 3/4" Deep Bar • 1/16" Canvas Clearance

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.

Sustainable Forests for Future Generations

Sustainable forestry practices go beyond just planting and harvesting trees. They also involve careful planning, monitoring, and management to ensure the long-term health and productivity of the forest. By using lumber from sustainably managed forests, we can support these important practices and help to ensure that our planet's forests remain healthy and productive for generations to come.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

This primer contains premium-grade Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) white pigment, renowned for its exceptional performance in acrylic priming. Its standout feature is its enduring whiteness, coupled with remarkable flexibility that persists over time. In contrast to other pigments such as zinc dioxide, Titanium Dioxide maintains its resilience, preventing brittleness as it ages. This quality ensures that artworks retain their integrity and will stand the test of time.

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.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, a polymath of the Renaissance era, was not just a gifted painter but also a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, and writer. His voracious curiosity and insatiable hunger for knowledge were unparalleled. Yet, even with his unparalleled intellect, da Vinci emphasized the importance of action over mere knowledge or intention.

For many in the art world, the familiar sensation of being trapped in a cycle of learning, imagining, and conceptualizing is all too real. We often find ourselves amassing techniques, theories, and inspirations, but da Vinci reminds us that the true essence of creation lies in the act of doing. For artists, it's that pivotal moment when the brush meets the canvas, the chisel touches the stone, or the pencil hits the paper. Our imaginations and intentions set the stage, but it's our actions that truly breathe life into our visions. Da Vinci's own life, characterized by a vast array of accomplishments and explorations, stands testament to his words. It serves as a beacon, urging us to move beyond mere contemplation and to manifest our artistic dreams tangibly.

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.
