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

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.

Biodiversity in our Forests is the Key to Life as we know it

By using lumber from sustainably managed forests in our products, we can ensure that the forests will continue to thrive and provide valuable resources for years to come. Sustainable forestry practices help to maintain the health and biodiversity of the forest, which benefits not only the environment, but also the local communities and businesses that rely on the forest for their livelihoods.

22x68 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 14x60 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.

What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. ♦ Cicero

Centuries ago, the Roman philosopher Cicero eloquently expressed the undeniable value of friendship. Living during turbulent times in the Roman Republic, Cicero himself leaned heavily on the bonds of trust and loyalty with close confidants. His friendships provided solace during political upheavals, grounding him in a shared sense of humanity amidst the chaos. The magnitude of this bond is felt deeply in his words, likening the absence of friendship to a world without the life-giving sun.

Friendships often become the cornerstone of our creative processes. They offer critiques, understanding, and emotional sustenance. Friends become our collaborators, muses, and greatest supporters. Just as the sun illuminates a canvas, friendships cast light on our paths, highlighting the intricacies of our thoughts and emotions. Without them, our artistic endeavors might lack depth, dimension, and warmth. It's through shared experiences, dialogues, and mutual respect that we draw inspiration and courage. Let us always cherish and nurture these bonds, recognizing that in every shared brushstroke, in every exchanged idea, friendship adds an irreplaceable radiance to our lives.

We hope you will be inspired by the wisdom, and our interpretation thereof, of Cicero, plus we made this unique little portrait to begin the creative process. Time to start your creative process!
