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 - A Precious Natural Resource

The air that we breathe depends upon our healthy forests the world over. For this reason, we only use lumber from the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, so we can guarantee that our nation's precious natural timber resources are available for future generations.

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.

It is the absolute best way to stretch a canvas.

I am my own muse, the subject I know best. ♦ Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo's indomitable spirit and unmistakable style have positioned her as one of the most iconic artists in history. Her work, characterized by its deep introspection and vivid depictions of pain, passion, and identity, stems from her fierce self-awareness. When she claims to be her own muse, it is not merely a statement of self-assuredness but an acknowledgment of the profound self-discovery she undertook throughout her life.

For many artists, the quest for inspiration can lead us down myriad paths, from the vast landscapes of nature to the intricate nuances of human emotion. Yet, it's often within ourselves that the most compelling stories reside. Like Frida, when we turn the lens inward, we confront our fears, dreams, and experiences, offering the world a glimpse into our innermost selves. By mining the depths of our own psyche, we can produce work that is not only deeply personal but universally relatable. Every artist has a unique story to tell, and there's no narrative more authentic than our own.
