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.

Sustainably Managed Forests Inhale and Exhale

The world's forests are essential to human survival. Forests inhale carbon dioxide for the earth, and exhale oxygen essential for life. When we speak of the sustainable forest strategy of ensuring that more timber will exist in the same forest land than exists today, this is the only viable plan for the future of humanity. For this reason, we use only lumber from the sustainable forests of Oregon, Washington, and California, where there’s more standing timber today than last century!

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

Painting is a way of capturing the beauty that remains. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, an iconic figure of the Impressionist movement, dedicated his life to immortalizing fleeting moments and the sublime allure of everyday life. The vibrant scenes of joyous gatherings, playful light, and delicate beauty found in his work give testament to a deeply held philosophy: the power of art to seize and preserve the timeless essence of beauty. While landscapes may change, and moments fade into the annals of time, art offers us a refuge, a space where beauty is forever captured and cherished.

Every brushstroke is more than just pigment on a canvas; it is an intimate dance with time, an effort to hold onto something precious. We, as creators, often find ourselves inspired by the ephemeral, driven to encapsulate the transient beauty before it slips away. In doing so, we not only offer the world a visual feast but also a reminder to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Renoir's insight compels us to embrace our unique ability to ensure that even in the face of change, the beauty we witness remains eternal in our work.
