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

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.

Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests

Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future. Increasing our number of trees is just as essential to our economy, as the harvest itself, which is why we select only timber harvested from responsibly managed forests.

The knowledge of all things is possible. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

A polymath of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci lived a life characterized by an insatiable curiosity. While many know him for masterpieces like the Mona Lisa or The Last Supper, his notebooks reveal a mind deeply engaged in anatomy, engineering, botany, and even flight. Da Vinci believed that the world around us was a puzzle waiting to be understood, and he dedicated his life to unraveling its mysteries.

This sentiment is both a challenge and an inspiration. It encourages us to look beyond the surface, to study, to probe, and to understand the intricacies of our chosen subjects. While we might not all possess the wide-ranging genius of da Vinci, his belief reminds us that with dedication, observation, and passion, we can unlock new depths in our work. As we engage deeply with our art and the world around us, we too can aspire to touch the boundless horizon of understanding.
