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.

22x80 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 12x70 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.

From my earliest youth, I have regarded the connection between all living things as an entity, an unity.
♦ Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch, the Norwegian painter and printmaker, was not only known for his iconic artwork, such as The Scream, but also for his deep and contemplative view of the world. Born in Loten, Norway, in 1863, Munch's upbringing was marked by tragedy, which profoundly influenced his art and perspective on life.
Munch's quote reflects his profound sensitivity to the interconnectedness of all existence. His art often delved into the depths of human emotion, exploring themes of love, anxiety, and death. His use of bold colors and striking compositions served as a means to express the complex unity of life, emotions, and the human experience.
As artists, we can relate to Munch's perspective. Our work often involves translating the intangible bonds that connect us all into tangible forms that resonate with viewers. Munch's ability to convey these connections, often through haunting and emotionally charged imagery, reminds us of the power of art to capture the essence of our shared humanity. Just as he sought to depict the unity of all living things, we, too, strive to create art that transcends individual experiences and speaks to the collective soul.
We are innately drawn to the act of creation. We've channeled this drive to curate this inspiring quote and contex along with our own portrait we created of Edvard Munch..our tribute to the timeless dance of creativity. Go paint!
