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.

He who does not oppose evil, commands it to be done. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

A Renaissance polymath with achievements spanning from art to science, Leonardo da Vinci often delved into the profound depths of human morality and responsibility. This particular statement sheds light on the active role of passivity, emphasizing that inaction, in the face of wrong, is as much a decision as action itself.

We are uniquely positioned to mirror society, highlighting its triumphs and its failings. Through our works, we not only capture moments and emotions but also challenge prevailing norms and question established systems. When we choose to remain silent or indifferent, we indirectly endorse the status quo. Our canvases, sculptures, and installations, therefore, become more than just artistic expressions; they are statements of our stance and values.

Da Vinci's cautionary wisdom nudges us to reflect on our roles beyond our art. It pushes us to recognize that our brushes and palettes possess the power to endorse or challenge, to remain silent or echo loudly. In every choice we make, in every color we blend, and in every line we draw, there's an inherent responsibility to not just witness but also to respond.
