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.

• For this 12x58 large size frame, the frame provides the ultimate foundation for your art with increased strength and stability
• 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

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.

22x68 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 12x58 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 lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature. ♦ Paul Cézanne

Paul Cézanne, a true pioneer and master of post-impressionism modern art, left us with this introspective quote that strikes a chord with artists like us. Cézanne's art captures the essence of nature and a deep exploration of color. He is best known for his landscapes, still lifes, and portraits, which often featured geometric shapes and a unique approach to color. His works, such as The Card Players and Mont Sainte-Victoire, reveal his fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his quest to replicate the vibrant hues of the natural world.

When Cézanne admitted, I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature, he acknowledged the eternal challenge that artists face: translating the awe-inspiring beauty of the world onto canvas. His words serve as a reminder that even the most accomplished artists are humbled by nature's splendor. As artists, we share in Cézanne's quest to express the essence of color and light, constantly striving to convey the profound richness of the world around us through our art. Cézanne's legacy inspires us to embrace this challenge with humility and unwavering dedication, knowing that each stroke of our brush or pencil brings us closer to nature's magnificent palette.
