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.

If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.
♦ Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh's life was characterized by a relentless pursuit of his artistic vision, even in the face of widespread misunderstanding and criticism. This sentiment, expressed in the juxtaposition of wheat and grass, captures a truth that artists have confronted for centuries: the challenge of being recognized and valued in their own time.
In the cyclical ebb and flow of the art world, many creators often grapple with doubt, especially when external validation is sparse. But Van Gogh's analogy encourages us to persevere and trust in the intrinsic value of our creations, regardless of current public perception. For artists, our self-worth is not contingent upon fleeting trends or immediate acclaim. Instead, it's anchored in the authenticity and dedication we bring to our work every day. This wisdom from Van Gogh is a timeless reminder that our contributions have value, even if it takes the world a little longer to see it.
We curated this empowering quote with some context and hope you find it insightful, plus we created this unique portrait of Vincent Van Gogh to make it a bit more intriguing. Now get to work on your own!
