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.

- 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 Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not
We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.
The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.
As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Forests need People, and People Need Forests
The concept of sustainability presupposes a comprehensive engagement of individuals in the art and science of forest stewardship, both in the present and for the well-being of generations to come. Humanity undoubtedly extracts wood from forests to supplement our needs, but they also play a crucial role in bestowing diligent care upon these ecosystems. This stewardship encompasses not only the responsible harvesting of forest resources but also extends to the safeguarding of clean water sources, the preservation of wildlife and their native habitats, and the mitigation of potential threats like erosion, fires, and diseases that could otherwise lead to untimely degradation of these precious woodlands.
Masterpiece® uses only lumber harvested from responsibly and sustainably managed timberlands.
24x35 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 14x25 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.

The artist's canvas is a realm of infinite possibilities.
♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir
For Pierre-Auguste Renoir, one of the leading figures of the Impressionist movement, art was never a mere imitation of nature. Born into a working-class family in Limoges, France, Renoir's path to becoming an iconic painter was a blend of challenges and inspirations. His works, characterized by vibrant colors and light, capture the joy of life and the beauty of spontaneous moments. Behind every brushstroke lay a perspective that went beyond mere representation to celebrate the vastness of human emotion and imagination.
When we approach a blank canvas, it isn't just a piece of fabric stretched across a frame; it's a world waiting to be brought to life. Every color we choose, every line we draw, is a decision, a possibility, an emotion waiting to be expressed. It's in this act of creation that we artists become alchemists, transforming simple materials into works of depth and meaning. Renoir's sentiment resonates with us because it speaks to the limitless potential within each of us. As artists, our canvas invites us to dream, challenge norms, and envision worlds that may have never existed before. It's a testament to the boundless power of our imagination and the endless opportunities that await in every new creation.
We hope you will be inspired by the wisdom, and our interpretation thereof, of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, plus we made this unique little portrait to begin the creative process. Time to start your creative process!
