Raw #10 Cotton 14.5 oz Unprimed
Very heavy weight unprimed cotton canvas. Take control of your art, prepare your own ground, or use bare canvas expanses as part of the art. Great for staining or pouring, resulting in a fluid and spontaneous convergence of the image and fabric.
- 100% Cotton 14.5 oz. per square yard
- Very 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
Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not
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 make are part of the archival process.
The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.
As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Sustainability Fights Against Climate-Change
Sustainable forestry practices are an important tool in the fight against climate change. By using lumber from sustainably managed forests in our products, we can help to reduce the carbon footprint of our business and support the health of the planet. It's a win-win for everyone involved.
MuseumWrap™ Stretching Technique
With more than a half a century of American engineering, Masterpiece® designs and builds its own proprietary stretching equipment that enables us to produce the finest and most tightly-stretched canvas on the market.
- Drum-tight stretch!
- Up to 50% tighter than other methods
- Balanced tension across the surface
- 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
One of the most celebrated features about 3D™ Pro 2.5 canvases is the patently robust framing system that makes it possible to increase the tension in the middle of the canvas, where the tension is needed the most. Our well-made keyable bracing system supports the canvas indefinitely. Braces prevent the stretcher bar frame from bowing-in so the canvas stays tighter long-term.
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
♦ Elbert Hubbard
A renowned writer and philosopher of his time, Elbert Hubbard was no stranger to the juxtaposition of ambition and apprehension. In the face of adversity and uncertainty, he recognized that the drive to succeed had to be robust, resilient, and greater than any looming dread. His words serve as a beacon for many, especially artists, who face the daunting task of creating and sharing their work with the world.
The process of creation is often fraught with self-doubt. Whether it's a blank canvas, an empty stage, or a silent studio, the initial steps can be paralyzing. Yet, it's that very hunger for accomplishment and the vision of the finished masterpiece that propels us forward. Hubbard's wisdom reminds us that our passion for our work, our unyielding need to express, should always eclipse the trepidation of critique or misunderstanding.
The beauty of art lies not only in the final piece but in the courage and tenacity of the artist who dares to bring it to life. By embracing our desire and using it as fuel, we find the strength to overcome our fears and thrive in our chosen path.
We are passionate about art, so we curated this enlightening quote and provide insight to it's meaning, plus to excite your senses, we included an inimitable portrait we made of Elbert Hubbard. Now get busy on your own!
