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.

• Produces a 2.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 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

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.

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• 2.5" Deep Edge K2 Heavy Stretcher Bars are precision machined with a unique double tongue-and-groove corner joint that provides rock-solid torsional rigidity that resists warping or twisting, which is an important benefit for such a deep edge canvas
• No Brace Required for this size
• To increase canvas tension, remove any staples in the corners and tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, then tension and re-staple the canvas in the corners

Selective Harvesting in our Sustainable Forests

Intelligent selective harvesting of timber is an ecological method to replace the natural occurrences of forest fires and disease and landslides that can devastate forests. This is all part of the process of sustainable forest management to which we subscribe when we choose which lumber we use in our products.

It's not necessary for a painting to be very much finished because the very method you use brightens it up. The scuffings of ground, the little bits of ground left uncovered by the paint, bring light into it if your tonal values are correct. ♦ Paul Gauguin

In these insightful words, Paul Gauguin touches upon the essence of artistic expression and the delicate balance between completion and rawness. Gauguin's own artistic path was a testament to the belief that art is as much about the process as it is about the finished product. The beauty of a canvas isn't solely in its polished finality but also in the traces of its evolution, the hints of the artist's hand at work.

We often grapple with the dilemma of when to deem a piece complete. Gauguin nudges us towards understanding that sometimes, it's the imperfections and the untouched areas that bring vibrancy and life to a piece. These untouched spaces, these moments of pause, are as significant as the painted strokes. They capture the spontaneity, the choices, and the intent of the creator. More than that, they speak to the acceptance that art doesn't always need to be defined by precision but by emotion and authenticity.

Gauguin's life was distinguished by his relentless pursuit of truth and authenticity in his work. To us, he serves as a reminder that our art need not always conform to traditional standards of completion or perfection. Instead, in our path, we should embrace the quirks, the pauses, and the raw moments, for they often hold the key to genuine brilliance.
