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.

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.

Art is still the only non-utilitarian activity of man. Hence, it is the only one where he is completely free.
♦ Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin's journey, defined by his quest for artistic truth and freedom, saw him breaking the chains of conventional society. He sought places unburdened by the constraints of modern life, where he could tap into a raw and unfiltered creative energy. This pursuit led him to the shores of Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands, environments teeming with natural beauty and free from the industrial world's encroachments.
In these far-flung places, Gauguin discovered the essence of his sentiment: the power of art as a realm of absolute freedom. While societies globally often judge worth based on utility, art remains a space where we, as creators, are liberated from such constraints. It's in this domain that we find our true voices, unconstrained by the demands of practicality. Gauguin's assertion reminds us that the value of art lies not in its utility but in its ability to provide a canvas for the soul's unbridled expressions.
