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.

• 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

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 strength—minimizing risks of cracks, splits, or bends—but 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.

84x96 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 76x88 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.

With deep family ties and a legacy spanning since 1965 in California, Masterpiece® has been the epitome of unmatched quality in Stretcher Bars across North America. Our commitment to pioneering excellence has crowned us as the forerunners in the world of professional fine-art canvases. Bolstered by our patented innovations, our products exude a caliber that's in a league of its own.

A good picture is equivalent to a good deed. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

Oh, Vincent Van Gogh, the post-impressionist maestro with a penchant for bright, emotive colors and turbulent life stories, knew all too well the weight and worth of a painting. Unlike the passive, fleeting nature of a photograph, a painting, especially in Van Gogh's hands, was an outpouring of the soul. With every brushstroke, artists, like Vincent, lay bare their emotions, beliefs, and perspectives. The act of creating is more than mere visual representation; it's a dance of the spirit. We know that every time our brush graces the canvas, we are pouring out our essence, hoping that our creations connect with the viewers, heal, and inspire others in the same way that acts of kindness do.

But let's not mince words; Van Gogh wasn't exactly a walk in the park..or should I say, a stroll through a starry night? His life was filled with highs and lows, much like the thick, textured strokes on his canvases. There were days when the weight of the world seemed too heavy, yet his paintings, his good deeds, became his salvation and our treasured inheritance. Each work we produce has the power to touch souls, evoke emotions, and perhaps, even change a life. So, next time you're battling with a piece or second-guessing your creation, think of Vincent and smile, because in that moment of creation, you've just performed a splendid deed.
