- Heavy Weight, Very Tight Weave, Textured Surface
- Raw fabric blocks 89% of the light, which indicates how tight is the weave

- Linen has natural oils that prevent disintegration over time.
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.
15x20 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
Sustainably Managed Forests Coexist with Mankind
We use lumber grown in the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, where there’s more standing timber today than last century! There will always be a demand for wood pulp and fiber, but striking a harmonious balance with human coexistence is the essential strategy to which we subscribe. Sustainably managed forests increase our health and abundance of our forests which can be in harmony with this precious natural resource.

Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
♦ Elbert Hubbard
A prominent writer and philosopher of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Elbert Hubbard was no stranger to making keen observations about human nature. In this quote, he uses his characteristic wit to draw a stark contrast between the boundaries that genius might face and the seemingly boundless nature of ignorance.
Hubbard's own life was an embodiment of pushing against limitations. As a relentless advocate for individuality and the arts, he frequently challenged prevailing norms and urged others to pursue their unique paths. The core of this quote speaks to the notion that while brilliance often grapples with constraints—be it societal expectations, self-doubt, or the sheer weight of creativity—uninformed judgments and actions know no such boundaries.
This insight serves as both a caution and an encouragement. While we might sometimes feel constrained by our knowledge, skill, or even the expectations of our audience, it's crucial to recognize the value of thoughtful reflection and continual growth. We must remain vigilant, ensuring that our work is informed and intentional, rather than drifting into the limitless expanse of uninformed creation. Hubbard's words serve as a playful reminder to always seek wisdom, understanding that while our genius may face challenges, it's these very limitations that can push us to create something truly extraordinary.
Creativity, the silent force beckoning you, finds its voice here. Harmonize your artistic process with these indelible words and meaning by Elbert Hubbard, and with our unique portrayal of a self portrait to inspire an enhanced melody in your art. Go make your music on canvas!
