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
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.

- 1-1/4" wide Stretcher Bars

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.
21x63 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 11x53 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.

I want to grasp the intangible. It's very difficult because you must have a great precision of spirit to get at that.
♦ Nicolas de Staël
The intricacies of Nicolas de Staël's abstract landscapes and textured compositions reveal a profound yearning: the pursuit of capturing the elusive. He wasn't merely interested in the visual representation of the world, but rather in encapsulating its very essence, its intangibility. This pursuit, while undeniably challenging, represents a universal struggle many artists can relate to. The desire to capture emotions, moods, or fleeting moments requires not just skill but a deep sensitivity and attunement to one's surroundings.
When attempting to seize the intangible through our art, we often find that the conventional tools and techniques might fall short. It's in these moments that our unique artistic voice must shine through, guiding us beyond the evident, into the realm of sensation and emotion. Nicolas understood this delicate balance. It's not just about mastering the brush or the palette, but about refining our spirit, aligning it with our intent, and allowing it to lead us towards that intricate dance between the seen and the unseen, the tangible and the intangible.
We hope you will be inspired by the wisdom, and our interpretation thereof, of Nicolas de Staël, plus we made this unique little portrait to begin the creative process. Time to start your creative process!
