- Super Heavy Weight, Dense Weave, Robust Texture
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.
13x19 2.5" Deep Edge Heavy Frame Offers Maximum Support!
- Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
- 2.5" Deep Edge K2 Heavy Stretcher Bars are precision machined with a unique double tongue-and-groove corner joint that provides rock-solid torsional rigidity that resists warping or twisting, which is an important benefit for such a deep edge canvas
- No Brace Required for this size
- To increase canvas tension, remove any staples in the corners and tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, then tension and re-staple the canvas in the corners

- Uncut folded corners make it possible to remove and re-stretch canvas on the same size frame
- Usually the corner folds are on the long sides
The canvas you choose is the foundation for your painting, but also serves as symbol of the quality that you as an artist stand for, and reflect on your own brand. We serve as your silent partner to create your next masterpiece. You "wow" them from the front, while we "wow" them underneath.
It is essential to do the same subject over again, ten times, a hundred times.
♦ Edgar Degas
The musings of Edgar Degas, a figurehead in the Impressionist movement, captures the spirit of relentless dedication to one's craft. Degas was known for his meticulous study of movement, particularly in his depictions of dancers, capturing the nuances of form and light with a precision that remains unparalleled. His emphasis on repetition was less about redundancy and more about deepening one's understanding with each iteration.
This wisdom serves as a potent reminder. It's not merely about repetition for the sake of it, but about refinement, discovery, and evolution. With every repeated stroke or reimagined subject, we not only hone our skills but also discover new facets and dimensions that might have eluded us in the first or even the tenth attempt. Just as Degas delved deeper with every rendition, we too can find greater depth, meaning, and mastery by revisiting, reinterpreting, and redefining our chosen subjects.
Echoing the timeless spirit of artistry, we bring you this quote paired with our beautiful portrait of Edgar Degas that we created. Let your colors on the canvas speak!
