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.

23x38 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 13x28 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.

Art is the reflection of the artist's heart onto canvas.
♦ Peter Paul Rubens
At the heart of the Baroque era stood Peter Paul Rubens, whose works brimmed with dynamism, vitality, and intricate details that captured the imaginations of many. Born in Germany but spending much of his life in Belgium, Rubens' world was a canvas of geopolitical shifts, religious tensions, and cultural exchanges. Yet, amidst this complex backdrop, his artistic philosophy remained remarkably intimate: art was a personal testament, a revealing of one's innermost thoughts and emotions.
When Rubens spoke of art as a reflection of the heart, he captured a truth we, as artists, intimately understand. Every brushstroke, every color choice, and every composition carries a fragment of our emotions, beliefs, and stories. As we stand before our canvas, it's not just about rendering an image; it's about conveying a part of ourselves. It's this soul-bearing process that distinguishes mere illustrations from profound art. So, in our path to creating, let's not forget the essence of Rubens' insight: to let our hearts guide our hands and create art that genuinely mirrors our essence.
We believe in the power of words to inspire, and the magic of art to connect. Enjoy this meaningful quote with contextual background, and admire our unique rendition of Peter Paul Rubens to complement your imagination. Get busy on your next composition!
