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.
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.
25x29 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 15x19 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.
Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner
One of our most appreciated products helps make your canvas tighter! Stretching a canvas tightly can be a challenge. Our Frame Kits include the Corner and Brace Keys that you will need to add tension, but Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Re-Tensioner is a way that you can use to add tension to the canvas without needed to use the keys. It canvas be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.
With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets. Recommended for acrylic primed cotton or linen canvas. We do not recommend it for oil primed canvas because there are simply too many different types of oil primed canvas, but used conservatively at your own risk, it will tension any canvas.

My illustrious lordship, I'll show you what a woman can do.
♦ Artemisia Gentileschi
A pioneering figure in Baroque art, Artemisia Gentileschi was not just a remarkable painter; she was a symbol of resistance against the societal constraints of her time. Born into a world dominated by male artists, she faced skepticism, prejudice, and even personal trauma. Yet, she used her brush to craft a narrative that would defy her detractors and set a new standard in the world of art.
At a time when women artists were often relegated to the background, Gentileschi's bold proclamation was more than just words. It was a declaration of intent, a promise of brilliance. We can imagine the barriers she faced, the doubts cast upon her abilities simply because of her gender. Yet, like many artists, Gentileschi turned these challenges into fuel for her passion. In the strokes of her brush, we see not just her skill, but her determination to rise above and claim her rightful place in the annals of art history.
Her sentiment speaks to all of us who have faced doubt, who have been told we don't belong or can't achieve our dreams. It's a reminder that our work, our passion, is our voice. By channeling our energies and honing our skills, we can break barriers, defy expectations, and demonstrate our worth. For every artist, Gentileschi's words are an inspiring call to action, urging us to persevere, to shine, and to let our work be our most powerful advocate.
Art is visual and ripe with meaning, so enjoy this quote and our interpretation of its meaning, plus an one-of-a-kind portrait we created of Artemisia Gentileschi to make it all the more relevant. Pick up that brush and go!
