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.

• 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 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.

Sustainable Environment Promotes a Sustainable Economy

By choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber, consumers can help to ensure that these industries remain strong and sustainable for years to come.

19x66 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 11x58 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.

The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution. ♦ Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne, the father of Post-Impressionism, had an enduring relationship with color. His style, characterized by its repetitive brushstrokes and attention to structural form, is inextricably bound to his understanding of color's profound emotional impact. The magic of color, its elusive nature and its infinite ability to transform a canvas, consumed him. As artists, we too feel that fervor and rush of emotion when a hue captures our spirit, embodying our thoughts and passion on canvas.

In this statement, Cézanne is not just professing his love for color. He's describing a symbiotic relationship where he does not control the color; instead, it's a force that controls, inspires, and fills him. For artists like us, who often juggle between the cerebral and the emotional, such moments of surrender—to color, to form, to any muse—are liberating. This revelation by Cézanne serves as a reminder that in the throes of creation, we are not just technicians but passionate souls. We don't just apply color; we become one with it, letting it weave stories and worlds through us.
