Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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 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.

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.

 

82x100 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 74x92 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.

A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

Whose posthumous fame stands in stark contrast to the obscurity and rejection he faced during his lifetime, Vincent Van Gogh has become synonymous with the very idea of the misunderstood genius. This profound sentiment captures the depth of his internal passion and the external apathy he often encountered. Though his vivid and swirling canvases now define an era, in his time, they were too avant-garde for many to understand or appreciate.

His fervent commitment to his craft was fueled by an inner flame, a relentless drive that is palpable in his bold brushstrokes and revolutionary use of color. Yet, while he poured his heart and soul into his works, recognition and understanding from his contemporaries eluded him. It's a sentiment many artists can relate to; when our most profound expressions and innovations are met with indifference, it can be deeply disheartening. Yet, it's the very fire within us that compels us to continue, to push boundaries and redefine norms.

The isolation Vincent describes is not unfamiliar to many in the artistic community. We often tread a delicate balance between staying true to our vision and seeking validation. While the world may sometimes be blind to the infernos that rage within us, our responsibility remains to our art and the undying flames of our passion. Van Gogh's legacy is a testament to the timeless nature of true art and a beacon of hope for all of us who have ever felt unseen in the face of our most fervent convictions.


Creativity is a dance between inspiration and innovation. Our own self portrait creation of Vincent Van Gogh twirls alongside these profound words, hoping to set the stage for your next artistic performance. Now go do your dance on the canvas!
