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.

 

Sustainable Environment Promotes a Sustainable Economy

The use of lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only environmentally responsible, it also helps to support the economy and preserve jobs in the forestry industry. By choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber, consumers can help to ensure that these industries remain strong and sustainable for years to come.

Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber

Our wood is handpicked from a curated group of environmentally responsible lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. By adhering to our precise drying and heat-treatment standards, these mills produce lumber with nearly half the moisture you'd find in common home improvement outlets or lumber yards. This meticulous process not only enhances the wood's strengthÑminimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bendsÑbut also elevates its dimensional stability. Such quality, despite its premium, is paramount in creating professional canvases designed to uphold the sanctity of your cherished art throughout the years.

 

43x44 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 35x36 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.

Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things. ♦ Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent American orator and social reformer, lived through tumultuous times, characterized by the fervor of abolition and the societal tremors preceding the Civil War. These experiences influenced his perceptions, leading him to recognize adversity not as mere punishment but as opportunities for growth and enlightenment.

Facing challenges is almost an integral part of the creative process. Be it the struggle to perfect a technique, the search for a unique voice, or the wrestle with self-doubt, these struggles often shape our creative evolution. As Beecher suggests, it's the very nature of these challenges that mold and refine us, making us more adept, both as artists and individuals. Just as the sculptor chisels away at stone to reveal the masterpiece within, our troubles and trials carve away our imperfections, revealing a stronger, more resilient self.

Embracing adversity is by no means an easy feat. However, acknowledging its potential to lead us to richer, more fulfilling experiences allows us to approach difficulties with hope and determination. After all, it's often through overcoming challenges that we find our most profound inspirations, birthing art that stands as a testament to our resilience and growth.


We curated this empowering quote with some context and hope you find it insightful, plus we created this unique portrait of Henry Ward Beecher to make it a bit more intriguing. Now get to work on your own!
