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 Coexist with Mankind
We use lumber grown in the sustainable forests of the Pacific Northwest, where thereÕs more standing timber today than last century! There will always be a demand for wood pulp and fiber, but striking a harmonious balance with human coexistence is the essential strategy to which we subscribe. Sustainably managed forests increase our health and abundance of our forests which can be in harmony with this precious natural resource.
24x67 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 16x59 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.

Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed; contemplating it, everyone can create a story at the will of his imagination and. . have his soul invaded by the most profound recollections; no effort of memory, everything summed up in one instant.
♦ Nicolas de Staël
Delving into the mind of Nicolas de Staël, one senses his profound reverence for the realm of painting. Through his words, he elevates the act of painting to a sublime stature, where sensations, memories, and imagination converge seamlessly. Unlike other art forms that progress linearly or rely heavily on context, a painting captures an entirety, an essence, within the bounds of a canvas. It's a universe in itself, inviting introspection and evoking myriad feelings in an instant.
Such is the beauty and power of painting. For us, the act of creating or witnessing a painting is akin to a momentary time travel, a bridge that connects our past experiences, present emotions, and future aspirations. As artists, we not only craft visuals, but we also distill emotions and narratives into a tangible form. De Staël's insight pushes us to appreciate this uniqueness, to understand that every brushstroke is a testament to our human experience, and to embrace the boundless possibilities this art form offers.
We are passionate about art, so we curated this enlightening quote and provide insight to it's meaning, plus to excite your senses, we included an inimitable portrait we made of Nicolas de Staël. Now get busy on your own!
