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.

Sustainably Managed Forests Purify the Air
Our forests purify the air by filtering nearly 40% of the fossil fuel emissions humans create, and are critical to reducing global warming. More trees are needed on this planet, not fewer, for our own healthy human survival. Therefore, we use lumber grown in responsibly managed forests, so future generations can benefit from our responsible actions today.
23x26 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 13x16 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.

Diego was everything; my child, my lover, my universe.
♦ Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo, one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century, was no stranger to the depths of emotion. Her life, characterized by physical pain from a tragic accident and the emotional turmoil of her relationship with Diego Rivera, was both her muse and her burden. Kahlo's relationship with Rivera, a fellow artist, was tumultuous and passionate, filled with love, betrayals, and reconciliations.
For artists, the people and experiences that shape our lives often become inseparable from the work we produce. Just as Diego was an integral part of Kahlo's life, our own inspirations and relationships can be the force that drives us, the muse that whispers in our ear, and sometimes the challenge that tests our spirit. Many of us have had a Diego in our lives, a muse or a force so powerful that it feels as though it defines our universe.
Through Kahlo's candid confession, we're reminded of the immense power emotions and relationships hold over our work. As artists, we pour these emotions into every stroke, every color choice, every line, crafting pieces that are not just a reflection of our skills, but of our very souls.
We've handpicked this empowering quote and offer insightful context to inspire your art. We've even created this unique portrait of Frida Kahlo to provide a personal touch to your browsing experience. Now start on your painting!
