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.

If I decide to be an idiot, then I'll be an idiot on my own accord. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, never one to mince words, encapsulates a sentiment of fierce independence with this declaration. A life defined by choices that many deemed unorthodox, Gauguin's trajectory was a clear testament to his belief in the power of personal agency. Rejecting societal norms, he sought to live and create art that was genuine to his spirit, even if it meant enduring criticism or being misunderstood by his peers.

The pressure to conform can be overwhelming. The art world, like many other spheres, often has its trends and popular motifs. Yet, it's in the fringes, in the decisions that deviate from the mainstream, that innovation often arises. Gauguin's words encourage us to embrace our idiosyncrasies, to value authenticity over popular opinion. When we decide to take a risk in our art or our choices, it should be a reflection of our passions and convictions, not a mere echo of external influences.

At the heart of Gauguin's statement lies a universal truth that extends beyond the realm of art: the importance of owning our decisions, whether they lead to triumph or error. In the world of creation, where vulnerability is a given, it's essential to remember that it's our unique perspectives and choices that distinguish us. By staying true to ourselves, we honor not only our art but the very essence of what it means to be an individual in an ever-changing world.
