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 Environment Promotes a Sustainable Economy
The use of lumber from sustainably managed forests is not only environmentally responsible, it also helps to support the economy and preserve jobs in the forestry industry. By choosing products made with sustainably sourced lumber, consumers can help to ensure that these industries remain strong and sustainable for years to come.
Specially Dried and Heat Treated Lumber
We source our wood from a select group of top-tier environmentally conscious lumber mills in the Pacific Northwest. These mills specially dry and heat-treat the lumber to our specifications, resulting in about half the moisture content compared to wood from typical home improvement centers or lumber yards. This process makes the wood stronger, reducing the likelihood of cracking, splitting, or warping. While the wood we use comes at a higher cost, it ensures a more dimensionally stable end product. This stability is crucial for crafting fine professional canvases that support your invaluable art over time.
32x39 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 22x29 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.

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
♦ Mark Twain
The words of Mark Twain, a masterful writer known for his wit and biting humor, highlight an undeniable truth about the human spirit. Twain, having observed the complexities of life through the many characters he birthed into literature, frequently touched upon the therapeutic and unifying power of laughter. From the mischievous adventures of Tom Sawyer to the social commentary of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, his works often used humor as a tool to shed light on deeper societal issues.
In art, the transformative power of humor and laughter is no less significant. While the canvas or the sculpture might not always elicit boisterous laughter, the essence of joyful creation is ever-present. For artists, the process of creating is imbued with moments of self-discovery, catharsis, and, indeed, moments of joy and amusement. As we wield our brushes, chisels, or pens, we tap into that universal language of joy, bridging gaps and weaving connections. The echoes of our creations, much like Twain's tales, remind us that amidst the challenges and intricacies of life, a shared moment of laughter can be the most potent tool in our arsenal.
As we honor the legacy of Mark Twain, we've created our own portrait as well as pass along these words of wisdom and our take on the message. Get to work on yours!
