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.

Art should evoke emotion, not explanation. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a leading figure of the Impressionist movement, has left an indelible mark on the world of art with his vibrant, luminous colors and a unique touch that captured the essence of his subjects. His belief was that art should touch the heart before it ever engages the intellect, a belief clearly mirrored in his own creations.

Artists know well the tug of war between technique and emotion. While the skills we learn provide the foundation, it's the emotion we infuse into our work that truly brings it to life. In this chaotic dance between brush and canvas, or chisel and stone, we aren't merely creating; we're pouring out a piece of our souls. When a viewer is moved by a piece, when they feel something stirring within them, it's often not the technical prowess that captivates them but the emotion radiating from the work.

While knowledge and technique are vital, it's the power of raw emotion that truly touches us. Let's allow our works to speak to the heart, to evoke emotions, and to stand as testament to our unique perspectives, rather than simply being a subject for analysis and explanation.

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.
