Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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.

Sustainably Managed Forests Coexist with Mankind

We use lumber grown in the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, where there’s more standing timber today than last century! There will always be a demand for wood pulp and fiber, but striking a harmonious balance with human coexistence is the essential strategy to which we subscribe. Sustainably managed forests increase our health and abundance of our forests which can be in harmony with this precious natural resource.

The artist is chosen by God to fulfill his commands and must never be overwhelmed by public opinion. ♦ Albrecht Dürer

A master of the Northern Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer was not just an artist but also a thinker who keenly observed the interplay between divine inspiration and the societal pressures of his time. His conviction in the sanctity of the artist's mission is palpable in this declaration.

In our modern age, artists often find themselves in the crucible of public scrutiny, navigating a labyrinth of critiques, opinions, and trends. Yet, Dürer's words serve as a timeless reminder that our primary obligation is not to the whims of the masses, but to the deep-seated inner calling that drives our creativity. If we believe that our artistry is a gift or a calling, then it becomes imperative that we remain true to that voice, rather than being swayed by external judgments.

For many of us, this means striking a balance between heeding feedback and staying committed to our artistic vision. Dürer's assertion nudges us to hold firm to our convictions, trusting that the authenticity of our work will shine through. After all, in a world brimming with voices and opinions, it's the singular, genuine voice of the artist, driven by passion and purpose, that often stands out the most.
