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

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.

Sustainable Forests Ensure More Wood for Communities

Using lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only the responsible thing to do, it's also a way to ensure that the wood products we rely on continue to be available in the future. By supporting sustainable forestry practices, we can help to ensure a steady supply of wood products while also protecting the environment and supporting local communities.

24x78 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 14x68 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.

We must admit there are as many different tastes as there are different palates, and as many judgments as there are different minds. ♦ Francisco de Goya

The renowned Spanish painter Francisco de Goya was not just an artist, but also a keen observer of the human condition. Living through turbulent times in Spain, Goya's works often reflected the complexities and ambiguities of human nature. His assertion about the multiplicity of tastes and judgments captures the essence of human individuality and diversity.

This understanding is invaluable. When we present our work to the world, we are opening ourselves up to a myriad of interpretations, critiques, and perspectives. While one viewer might be profoundly moved by a piece, another might remain indifferent or even critical. It's a reminder that art, much like beauty, is subjective. What resonates with one individual might not necessarily do the same for another, simply because our experiences, histories, and sensibilities differ.

This insight by Goya encourages tolerance and open-mindedness. In our shared space of creativity, we ought to remember that every piece has its audience, and every audience has its preferences. Celebrating this diversity in perception enriches the tapestry of artistic expression. It challenges us to continuously evolve, adapt, and grow in our path, understanding that our craft is as much about dialogue with our audience as it is about personal expression.
