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.

It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
♦ Anatole France
Anatole France, a Nobel Prize-winning French writer, was distinguished by his skeptical and often profound observations on life and society. His experiences, encompassing the political and social upheavals of late 19th and early 20th-century France, defined his perspectives on the relationship between thought and action. The statement beautifully crystallizes the essence of what he believed: that while ideas are the foundation, it is our actions that truly define our existence.
For us in the realm of art, this perspective serves as a reminder of the profound difference between conception and creation. It's easy to get lost in thought, in the myriad concepts and visions that flit through our minds. Yet, it's only when we act, when we put brush to canvas, chisel to stone, or fingers to clay, that these visions take form. Similarly, the world remembers and celebrates our creations, our tangible contributions, far more than the ideas that inspired them. Anatole France's wisdom reminds us to value and prioritize the act of creation, to bring our visions to life, and in doing so, truly live as artists.
