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.

- Provides a 3.5" deep stretched canvas which makes a bold and commanding display
- 1-1/4" wide Stretcher Bars
- 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
Selective Harvesting in our Sustainable Forests
Intelligent selective harvesting of timber is an ecological method to replace the natural occurrences of forest fires and disease and landslides that can devastate forests. This is all part of the process of sustainable forest management to which we subscribe when we choose which lumber we use in our products.
22x35 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 12x25 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.
Rooted in California and flourishing since 1965, Masterpiece® takes pride in its family-led legacy of crafting North America's premier Stretcher Bars.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.
♦ Claude Monet
Claude Monet, the renowned French painter and a pioneer of the Impressionist movement, left an indelible mark on the world of art with his breathtaking landscapes and captivating studies of light and color. Yet he faced much criticism and rejection in Paris early in his career; so much so he struggled to make ends meet. However, Monet's uncompromising commitment to his principals and his unique approach to painting transformed the art world.
Monet's quote encapsulates his enduring philosophy. In a world that often seeks to dissect and analyze art, Monet reminds us that the true essence of artistic appreciation lies in the emotions it evokes. All to often, we stive to have the art community comprehend our work on an intellectual level. Yet, his words encourage us to prioritize the emotional connection between our art and the viewer. Just as he sought to capture the fleeting beauty of nature through his paintings, we, too, have the power to capture moments of profound emotion and translate them onto our canvases. In a world inundated with information and analysis, we should embrace Monet's wisdom, reminding ourselves and our audience that art is, above all, an expression of love and a gateway to shared emotions, transcending the boundaries of language and understanding.
We've curated this inspirational quote and our take on the message, plus a unique portrait we created of Claude Monet, celebrating the timeless ever-evolving act of creation. Go create your own masterpiece!
