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.

11x17 2.5" Deep Edge Heavy Frame Offers Maximum Support!

• 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

Sustainably Managed Forests Coexist with Mankind

We use lumber grown in the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, where there’s more standing timber today than last century! There will always be a demand for wood pulp and fiber, but striking a harmonious balance with human coexistence is the essential strategy to which we subscribe. Sustainably managed forests increase our health and abundance of our forests which can be in harmony with this precious natural resource.

We have art in order not to die of the truth. ♦ Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, a philosopher who profoundly impacted the 19th century and beyond, was known for his critiques of traditional European morality and religion. His writings often navigated the treacherous waters of human existence and the complexities of truth. In a world where truths can be overwhelming and often brutal, art becomes our refuge. For many artists, the canvas, the sculpture, or the song becomes a place to both confront and escape reality. It's where we process, reflect, and sometimes find solace from the unyielding truths of existence.

Art offers a transformative experience. It provides a buffer, a space where harsh realities can be molded, reshaped, and represented in ways that are digestible and even beautiful. Through art, we find a way to grapple with truths that might otherwise be too piercing. It grants us the ability to turn pain into beauty, despair into hope. In this way, art becomes not just a mirror to our realities but a balm for our wounds. Nietzsche's insight serves as a poignant reminder that in every stroke, note, or chiseled piece, we artists find a lifeline, ensuring that while we may confront the truth, we are never consumed by it.
