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.

• Provides a 2.5" deep stretched canvas which makes a bold and commanding display
• 1-1/4" wide Stretcher Bars

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.

24x33 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 16x25 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.

There is a pure emotion from new combinations of color. ♦ Robert Delaunay

Delaunay's art was characterized by a bold use of color, breaking away from conventional norms and transcending traditional boundaries. This sentiment echoes his lifelong fascination with the dynamism of hues and how they interact. In the vast palette available to artists, colors hold emotion, power, and meaning. But beyond just using them individually, the magic often lies in their combinations, in the juxtapositions and harmonies they create.

When we experiment with unexpected pairings or harmonies in our art, we invoke a spectrum of emotions in our audience. The union of contrasting or complementary colors can evoke feelings of tension, peace, excitement, or melancholy. Delaunay understood the innate power these combinations held. As artists, we have the privilege of tapping into this power, crafting narratives, and provoking feelings, simply by how we decide to let our colors interact on the canvas. This understanding empowers us to continually explore, innovate, and find new ways to emotionally connect with those who experience our work.
