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
- Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest
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.

Sustainability is about Reducing Deforestation
Choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber is an important way for consumers to make a positive impact on the environment. By supporting sustainable forestry practices, we can help to reduce deforestation, promote biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. It's a simple and effective way to make a difference.
25x65 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 15x55 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.

I want to be inside your darkest everything.
♦ Frida Kahlo
An artist whose life was characterized by profound pain and extraordinary passion, Frida Kahlo often sought to explore and represent the complexities of the human experience. Her artworks are a vivid reflection of her internal struggles, desires, and deep-seated emotions. When Kahlo mentioned her wish to delve into one's darkest everything, it wasn't merely a poetic utterance; it encapsulated her fearless approach to confronting and understanding the human psyche.
The depth of such a statement can be likened to the process of creation that artists often undertake. When we embark on the path of crafting a piece, we aren't just putting colors on a canvas or words on a page. We are diving deep into the abyss of our own souls, and sometimes, into the souls of others. This willingness to confront the shadows, to understand and embrace them, is what gives art its power. It's the raw, unfiltered exploration of life in all its shades - light, dark, and everything in between - that makes our creations resonate with authenticity and passion.
We curated this empowering quote with some context and hope you find it insightful, plus we created this unique portrait of Frida Kahlo to make it a bit more intriguing. Now get to work on your own!
