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.
24x33 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 14x23 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.

Abstract art places a new world, which on the surface has nothing to do with 'reality,' next to the 'real' world.
♦ Wassily Kandinsky
Wassily Kandinsky, often hailed as the pioneer of abstract art, ventured into realms previously uncharted in the art world. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky's evolution as an artist was characterized by his deep interest in spirituality and the synthesis of arts. He believed that colors and forms possessed a spirit and meaning of their own, independent of the objects they represented. It was this belief that led him to push the boundaries of visual representation, detaching it from the need to depict the physical world.
In the realm of abstract art, we artists find a unique kind of freedom. It is an invitation to explore a world untethered from the confines of realism. Kandinsky encourages us to understand that while our creations may not echo the tangible reality surrounding us, they create a new dimension of reality in themselves. This newly forged world, birthed from our thoughts, emotions, and experiences, stands proudly next to what is conventionally perceived as 'real'. It serves as a reminder that the worlds we conjure in our art are as valid and significant as the one we navigate daily. It's an empowering thought, urging us to continuously redefine and expand our understanding of reality through our creations.
