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.

• For this 15x40 large size frame, the frame provides the ultimate foundation for your art with increased strength and stability
• Provides a 2.5" deep stretched canvas which makes a bold and commanding display
• 1-1/4" wide Stretcher Bars
• 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

23x48 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 15x40 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.

Nature is vast, profound, and infinite; and the artist's job is to dive deep into its mysteries. ♦ George Inness

A luminary in the realm of American landscape painting, George Inness, had a unique connection with nature that went beyond the surface. His artworks stand as testament to his perception of nature not merely as a subject but as a repository of boundless mysteries and emotions. Landscapes was more than a visual spectacle; they were an enigma waiting to be unraveled, understood, and communicated through the brush's strokes.

His perspective offers a guiding light for artists of all disciplines. The vastness of nature, with its myriad nuances and subtleties, mirrors the boundless possibilities in art. Whether we are painters, sculptors, or musicians, our role is not just to replicate but to interpret, to question, and to express the deeper truths that lie beneath the observable. As we plunge into the depths of our subjects, be it nature or otherwise, we forge a bond that is both intimate and expansive. Inness challenges us, as artists, to continuously seek, explore, and share the profound wonders that surround us and lie within our own creative souls.
