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

No Finger Joints!

Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.

A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. 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 Purify the Air

Our forests purify the air by filtering nearly 40% of the fossil fuel emissions humans create, and are critical to reducing global warming. More trees are needed on this planet, not fewer, for our own healthy human survival. Therefore, we use lumber grown in responsibly managed forests, so future generations can benefit from our responsible actions today.

22x37 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 14x29 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.

With deep family ties and a legacy spanning since 1965 in California, Masterpiece® has been the epitome of unmatched quality in Stretcher Bars across North America. Our commitment to pioneering excellence has crowned us as the forerunners in the world of professional fine-art canvases. Bolstered by our patented innovations, our products exude a caliber that's in a league of its own.

I have come to an unalterable decision—to go and live forever in Polynesia. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's decision to move to Polynesia was a pivotal moment in his art career and life. Frustrated with the constraints of European society and yearning for a raw, untouched environment to fuel his creativity, Gauguin saw Polynesia as an ideal escape. This move wasn't merely a change in geography; it represented his desire to break free from the conventions that had confined him, to immerse himself in a culture that he believed held the pure essence of humanity and artistry.

For many artists, environments play a significant role in shaping our perceptions, influencing our work, and molding our creative identities. Gauguin's choice to relocate reminds us of the lengths to which we might go to find inspiration and authenticity. It is a testament to the fact that sometimes, we need to step out of our comfort zones, immerse ourselves in unfamiliar terrains, and let new surroundings influence our artistic perspective. Such bold decisions can redefine our artistic paths and can be essential in helping us discover our true selves.

Gauguin's experience serves as a beacon, illuminating the importance of following one's convictions, even if it means turning one's life upside down. Through his journey, we learn the value of seeking environments that nurture our creative souls and understand that sometimes, to truly find ourselves, we might need to venture far from home.
