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.

Sustainability in our Forests and our Communities

By doing so, we can help to protect our planet's forests, reduce our environmental impact, and support the communities that depend on these valuable resources.

24x44 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 14x34 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.

Rooted in California and flourishing since 1965, Masterpiece® takes pride in its family-led legacy of crafting North America's premier Stretcher Bars. Our quest for excellence isn't just a goal but a commitment, positioning us as the trailblazers in the domain of fine-art canvas.

I invent nothing, I rediscover. ♦ Auguste Rodin

A sculptor whose works are characterized by a deep and introspective realism, Auguste Rodin once shed light on his creative process with this simple yet profound statement. Throughout his prolific career, Rodin's sculptures captured the essence of humanity, often in its rawest forms. But instead of claiming to be the source of such inspiration, he humbly acknowledged that he was merely unearthing truths that already existed.

In the realm of art, the process often feels like a dance between innovation and rediscovery. Artists, through their distinct perspectives, have the unique ability to see the world with fresh eyes. Yet, every brushstroke or chisel mark often aligns with the collective consciousness, resonating with familiar emotions and narratives. We, through our creations, tap into universal themes and sentiments, revealing them in new lights, shapes, and forms.

This sentiment of rediscovery is an affirmation for artists everywhere. It's a reminder that while our interpretations might be unique, the essence of what we convey has been, and always will be, a part of the collective human experience. In this delicate balance between the known and the new, artists like us find the magic that makes art both personal and universally understood.
