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

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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.

Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids. ♦ Aristotle

Aristotle, one of the most revered philosophers in history, emphasized time and time again the role of character in defining our very essence. Deeply ingrained in the fabric of our being, character isn't just a set of traits or quirks, but rather a compass guiding us through life's intricate maze.

For artists, choices are at the very core of creation. Each stroke, color, or note unveils a part of who we are, and in turn, the decisions we make mold our artistic voice. When we choose a subject or avoid another, we're making a declaration about what resonates with our inner self. Thus, our art becomes an intimate reflection of our moral compass, a window into our soul. This is the very reason art, in all its forms, transcends time and space, because it speaks to the universal truths that connect us all.
