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.

What is Sustainable Forestry?

To a forester, the term "sustainable" could mean exercising industry adopted forestry practices to maintain a forest indefinitely. To a logger, the process of proper care for the trees remaining after a harvest. To a landowner, their interest may lie in keeping their forest in the family. And to those of involved in the process of making and using wood-based art supplies, it can mean promoting and supporting an industry dedicated to the preservation of our precious natural resource. We can all do our part to care for our national forests.

In art, we find solace from the complexities of life. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A master of Impressionism, Pierre-Auguste Renoir lived in an era of rapid change and societal upheaval. The late 19th century was a tumultuous period marked by advancements in technology, shifts in cultural norms, and the underpinnings of modernity. Yet, in the midst of this swirling tide of change, he found a sanctuary in his art, much like we all do. Through his vibrant canvases, he celebrated the joys of life, from bustling Parisian cafes to serene landscapes and intimate moments shared between loved ones.

Similarly, many of us turn to our art as a refuge from the challenges and uncertainties that life throws our way. In the process of creating, we reconnect with ourselves, rediscover our inner peace, and find clarity amidst chaos. Renoir's perspective is both timeless and deeply personal. Through art, we not only escape life's burdens for a moment but also reinterpret and reimagine them, giving voice to our innermost feelings and experiences. His words are a testament to the transformative power of art, reminding us that, amidst life's complexities, we have a unique medium to find solace, expression, and meaning.
