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.

For me, sorrow is the most fertile soil. . Out of it springs the strongest and the most inwardly concentrated art. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's life was a tapestry of emotional intensities, filled with moments of both elation and profound sorrow. He left his family in France, seeking an environment in Tahiti that could inspire him artistically. This sacrifice was undoubtedly painful, a sentiment reflected in many of his works. Despite the beauty of the landscapes and people he painted, a haunting melancholy pervades his pieces, revealing the depth of his emotional experience.

Sorrow, as Gauguin suggests, can be a powerful motivator and muse. When we confront our pain and channel it into our work, the art we create often achieves a depth and authenticity that might elude us in more carefree moments. It is in the depths of sorrow that our emotions become sharp, clear, and vivid. Through art, we find a way to communicate these feelings, sharing our experiences and connecting deeply with our audience. Like Gauguin, we recognize that the most compelling art often emerges from our most challenging experiences, becoming a testament to both our vulnerabilities and our strengths.
