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.

- Strainer Bars are 2.5" deep x 1-1/4" wide

A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place.
♦ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A prodigious composer and musician of the classical era, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart experienced firsthand the transformative power of travel and exposure to different cultures. This quote offers an insightful perspective on the nature of talent and the need for growth. Mozart, despite his innate genius, believed in the necessity of broadening one's horizons to truly nurture and refine that genius.
In the world of art, it's often said that inspiration can come from anywhere, but it's also true that new environments can provide a refreshing palette of experiences and ideas. For artists, stepping out of our comfort zones and immersing ourselves in unfamiliar territories can stimulate creativity in unexpected ways. We must remember, however, that talent alone is not a guarantee of continued growth. It is our responsibility to seek out experiences that challenge and enrich us, ensuring our skills and perspectives remain dynamic and evolving.
Creativity is the reason you have landed on this page. Enjoy our own portrait rendition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the spoken words and meaning we provide. Now..go paint!
