• 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

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.

13x21 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

Sustainable Forests Ensure More Wood for Communities

Using lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only the responsible thing to do, it's also a way to ensure that the wood products we rely on continue to be available in the future. By supporting sustainable forestry practices, we can help to ensure a steady supply of wood products while also protecting the environment and supporting local communities.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. ♦ Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, the iconic physicist known for his groundbreaking theories, was not just a man of science, but also a profound thinker who delved deep into the nature of life, purpose, and human potential. Beyond his monumental scientific achievements, Einstein frequently pondered the essence of a meaningful life. While success often shines as a coveted goal in society's eyes, Einstein challenges this notion, urging a deeper, more enduring pursuit: value.

In the realm of art, this distinction is particularly salient. While accolades and recognition might define success, the true essence of an artist's contribution lies in the value they bring to the world. We, as artists, channel our creativity, passion, and vision into pieces that touch lives, instigate thought, and evoke emotion. The impact of a heartfelt masterpiece or a thought-provoking sculpture extends far beyond fleeting admiration. It becomes a part of cultural dialogues, inspires others, and, sometimes, even shapes the course of history.

Thus, by focusing on the value our work brings, we anchor our art career in purpose and authenticity. It's a call to look beyond transient markers of success and delve deep into what truly matters: making a difference, sparking change, and enriching the human experience. Embracing Einstein's wisdom, we find a path illuminated by purpose and lasting impact.
