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
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.
11x17 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 - A Precious Natural Resource
The air that we breathe depends upon our healthy forests the world over. For this reason, we only use lumber from the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, so we can guarantee that our nation's precious natural timber resources are available for future generations.
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

We write not in order to be understood, but in order to understand.
♦ Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche, a philosopher whose influence on modern thought remains profound, was no stranger to the labyrinthine intricacies of human existence. His writings, often probing and introspective, were a testament to his relentless quest for understanding. Throughout his life, Nietzsche grappled with profound concepts of morality, existence, and the human psyche, leading him to pen some of the most profound philosophical treatises of his time.
The act of creation mirrors Nietzsche's approach to writing. When we engage with our medium, whether it's paint, clay, or any other form, we are often seeking clarity and comprehension. By pouring our emotions, doubts, and aspirations onto the canvas, we gain insights into our own souls. Each artwork becomes a reflection of our introspections, a testament to our personal growth and evolving perspectives. In this journey of self-discovery, we realize that the process of creating is just as significant, if not more, than the final product itself.
We hope to inspire your art with this wonderful quote and our interpretation along with our own one-of-a-kind portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche..got to love it!
