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.

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.

I am trying to do what I have never done Ð give the impression one has on entering a room: one sees everything and at the same time nothing. ♦ Mary Cassatt

Mary Cassatt's words illuminate the delicate balance artists often seek to strike, capturing both the essence and the subtlety of a moment. Her desire to depict the simultaneous feeling of overwhelm and specificity when entering a room is a challenge familiar to many who have picked up a brush or palette. Cassatt, known for her mastery in portraying intimate scenes and relationships, was no stranger to the nuances that define our everyday experiences.

When we, as artists, approach our canvases, there's an innate longing to convey not just the tangible but the intangible, the seen and the unseen. This duality is where the magic lies. It reminds us of the broader spectrum of human experience, urging us to look deeper and find the underlying emotions and stories that might otherwise go unnoticed. By striving for such depth in our work, we not only honor the multifaceted nature of life but also invite our audience to engage with art on a more profound level, seeing both everything and nothing all at once.
