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.

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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.

24x52 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 14x42 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.

The love we give away is the only love we keep. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

The influential writer and philosopher of the early 20th century, Elbert Hubbard possessed a unique ability to encapsulate profound truths in simple statements. When he said these words, he offered a perspective on love that goes beyond the realms of romance and dives deep into human nature and our creative impulses.

In the world of art, this sentiment holds a particular resonance. Artists, by nature, are givers. We pour our emotions, thoughts, and experiences onto our canvases, in our sculptures, or through our performances. By sharing these pieces of ourselves, we are, in essence, giving away love. And in this generous act of sharing, we find that the appreciation, understanding, and connection we receive in return are the very manifestations of the love we keep. It's a cyclical process; the more we give, the more we retain.

For those of us navigating the challenges and uncertainties of the artistic path, Hubbard's wisdom serves as a gentle reminder. It prompts us to continue to share, to express, and to give away pieces of our soul, for in doing so, we enrich not only the lives of our audience but also our own.
