3D™ Pro 3.5 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 3.5" 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
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.

Our Ecosystem Depends on Healthy Forests
Forests play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. They absorb carbon dioxide, filter air and water, and provide habitat for countless species of plants and animals. By using sustainably sourced lumber, we can help to protect these important ecosystems and ensure that they continue to provide these valuable services for generations to come.
21x25 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 11x15 Frame
Please note that you will need a canvas that is at least 10 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.

A sensible man is a man of worth. He is respected in society. His advice is sought in public and private counsels.
♦ Mary Cassatt
In an era when the roles and perceptions of men and women were traditionally strict, Mary Cassatt made astute observations about societal values and expectations. Her emphasis on sensibility underscores the timeless truth that character, rather than mere status or appearance, defines an individual's worth. As an artist who often navigated the fine balance between societal expectations and personal aspirations, she recognized the value of genuine substance over superficiality.
Similarly, in the realm of art, it is the depth, thoughtfulness, and sincerity that elevate a piece and its creator. When artists imbue their works with genuine insight and perception, they garner respect and their perspectives are sought after. Just as Cassatt highlights the reverence earned by a sensible individual, she subtly encourages us, through her insights, to create with intention, depth, and authenticity. It is this commitment to genuine expression that sets apart the great artists from the fleeting, ensuring our voices and perspectives are respected and cherished in the annals of art history.
We hope to inspire your art with this wonderful quote and our interpretation along with our own one-of-a-kind portrait of Mary Cassatt..got to love it!
