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.

 

Sustainable Forests - A Precious Natural Resource

The air that we breathe depends upon our healthy forests the world over. For this reason, we only use lumber from the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, so we can guarantee that our nation's precious natural timber resources are available for future generations.

 

19x112 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 11x104 Frame

Please note that you will need a canvas that is at least 8 Inches larger than the actual frame size to ensure proper stretching. This will provide ample material to stretch the canvas and attach it to the back of the frame. If you prefer to attach the canvas from the edge of the stretcher frame, you can reduce the size of your canvas by approximately 3/4" all the way around the frame. This will allow you to paint on the edge of the canvas and hang your artwork without needing a separate picture frame. And, if you ever need to remove the canvas from the frame and re-attach it, you'll have enough material to do that too.
 

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

One of our most appreciated products helps make your canvas tighter! Stretching a canvas tightly can be a challenge. Our Frame Kits include the Corner and Brace Keys that you will need to add tension, but Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Re-Tensioner is a way that you can use to add tension to the canvas without needed to use the keys. It canvas 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. Recommended for acrylic primed cotton or linen canvas. We do not recommend it for oil primed canvas because there are simply too many different types of oil primed canvas, but used conservatively at your own risk, it will tension any canvas.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. ♦ Mark Twain

The luminary behind such classics as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain often interwove profound insights about the human condition within his tales. His assertion about living life to its fullest to dispel the fear of its end reflects the depth of his understanding of human nature. Twain recognized that the apprehension of death often stems from regrets, from opportunities not taken, and experiences not embraced.

These words serve as a poignant reminder. We are often faced with the daunting prospect of vulnerability in our creations, of exposing our innermost emotions, hopes, and fears. Yet, by embracing this vulnerability, by living our art career with authenticity and fervor, we can overcome the trepidation of judgment or failure. When we immerse ourselves completely in our art, we not only find our true selves but also foster a connection with our audience that transcends time. This profound engagement with life, through our work, ensures that when the curtain falls, we have left behind a legacy untouched by the shadow of fear.


Embrace the synergy of this profound quote with our interpretation of it's meaning with a nice little portrait that we created of Mark Twain. Time to create!
