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.

Sustainable Environment Promotes a Sustainable Economy
The use of lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only environmentally responsible, it also helps to support the economy and preserve jobs in the forestry industry. By choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber, consumers can help to ensure that these industries remain strong and sustainable for years to come.
23x35 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 13x25 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.

Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult.
♦ Robert Henri
The poignant reflections of Robert Henri, a leading figure of the Ashcan School of American Realism, bring to the fore the juxtapositions inherent in an artist's existence. Henri understood the transient nature of life and the enduring legacy of art. He recognized that while our lifespans are limited, the art we create has the potential to outlive us, bearing witness to our existence, our struggles, and our joys.
With every brushstroke or sculpted form, artists confront fleeting opportunities, hoping to capture moments, emotions, or insights before they slip away. But experience, with its unpredictable ebb and flow, can sometimes lead us astray, making the process of creation fraught with challenges. And then there's judgment - that final reckoning where we, and the world, evaluate the merit of our creations. Henri's words inspire us to persevere, to continue our quest for expression and understanding despite the inevitable challenges. In our art careers, let us remember that the path may be treacherous, but the pursuit, with its potential for eternal impact, is infinitely rewarding.
Creativity is a dance between inspiration and innovation. Our own self portrait creation of Robert Henri twirls alongside these profound words, hoping to set the stage for your next artistic performance. Now go do your dance on the canvas!
