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.

• 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

Forests need People, and People Need Forests

The concept of sustainability presupposes a comprehensive engagement of individuals in the art and science of forest stewardship, both in the present and for the well-being of generations to come. Humanity undoubtedly extracts wood from forests to supplement our needs, but they also play a crucial role in bestowing diligent care upon these ecosystems. This stewardship encompasses not only the responsible harvesting of forest resources but also extends to the safeguarding of clean water sources, the preservation of wildlife and their native habitats, and the mitigation of potential threats like erosion, fires, and diseases that could otherwise lead to untimely degradation of these precious woodlands.

Masterpiece® uses only lumber harvested from responsibly and sustainably managed timberlands.

I live a wretched life from morning till night, and if I want to enjoy some pleasure for myself, it has always to be in secret. ♦ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The prodigious talent of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the most revered composers in the history of Western music, was undeniable. Yet, the life behind the genius was fraught with personal and professional struggles. Mozart's compositions, celebrated for their intricate harmonies, emotive depth, and unparalleled beauty, often stood in stark contrast to the tumultuous circumstances of his life.

His declaration of a clandestine search for pleasure sheds light on the pressures and expectations that often come with exceptional talent. For artists, the world can be both a stage for our expressions and a cage for our spirits. Mozart's meteoric rise and the demands of patrons, combined with his extravagant lifestyle and financial troubles, often left him feeling trapped, yearning for moments of solace. Such a sentiment serves as a reminder that behind every piece of art lies a human story, filled with joys, sorrows, and intricacies. It's easy for us to lose ourselves amidst the relentless pursuit of perfection and external validation. But it's in those stolen moments of personal pleasure, however fleeting, where we reconnect with our true selves.

Mozart's vulnerability in this confession underscores the universal truth that success and talent don't shield one from life's hardships. As artists, we must cherish our personal moments of joy and remember that our worth is not solely tied to our creations. Our art might be a significant part of us, but it doesn't encompass our entirety. By recognizing and embracing our own humanity, we pave the way for genuine connection, both with ourselves and our audience.

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

While all of our Masterpiece® Pro canvases are stretched very tightly and our frames have a built-in method to increase tension, we have another method to add canvas tension. Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner (sold separately) can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
