3D™ Pro 2.5 Stretcher Bar • 1/2" Canvas Clearance
1/2" Canvas Clearance is the space between the Bar and the canvas. Generally speaking, more clearance reduces the risk of the canvas touching the wood and creating unsightly lines during painting. Our design provides the optimal clearance so as not to impact your painting, but still leaving enough wood to the maximize strength of the Stretcher Bar.

- 1.25" wide Stretcher Bar
- All Bars have an exclusive groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to which cross braces and Diamond Corner Braces attach
- Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest
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.

Sustainably Managed Forests Purify the Air
Our forests purify the air by filtering nearly 40% of the fossil fuel emissions humans create, and are critical to reducing global warming. More trees are needed on this planet, not fewer, for our own healthy human survival. Therefore, we use lumber grown in responsibly managed forests, so future generations can benefit from our responsible actions today.
MuseumWrap™ Stretching Technique
With more than a half a century of American engineering, Masterpiece® designs and builds its own proprietary stretching equipment that enables us to produce the finest and most tightly-stretched canvas on the market.
- Drum-tight stretch!
- Up to 50% tighter than other methods
- Balanced tension across the surface
- Uncut folded corners make it possible to remove and re-stretch canvas on the same size frame
- Usually the corner folds are on the long sides
Since 1965, our passion for perfection has driven us at Masterpiece® to construct professional quality canvases that artists around the nation desire. Your art is better and more valuable when the materials you use are complementary to the blood, sweat, and passion you will paint on top.
Society!–Society is the struggle of man against his instincts.
♦ Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin, a visionary and rebel in his time, often grappled with the confines of society. He lived in an era of significant transformation, and like many artists, he felt the tension between societal expectations and the wild, unbridled call of his artistic soul. His journey, which took him from the bustling streets of Paris to the remote islands of Polynesia, was a testament to this battle. For us, it's a stark reminder that while society may dictate a certain path, our instincts often pull us in another, more authentic direction. Gauguin's life and works exemplify the essence of this conflict.
The artist's role, as Gauguin saw it, is not merely to conform but to challenge, to shake the very foundations of what is deemed 'normal'. Even with our own art, we are constantly navigating this intricate dance, sometimes leaning into societal norms, and at other times, vehemently opposing them. Gauguin's statement on society resonates with us because it encapsulates the perpetual struggle we face in our quest for true expression.
Art is visual and ripe with meaning, so enjoy this quote and our interpretation of its meaning, plus an one-of-a-kind portrait we created of Paul Gauguin to make it all the more relevant. Pick up that brush and go!
