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.
Our Ecosystem Depends on Healthy Forests
Forests play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. They absorb carbon dioxide, filter air and water, and provide habitat for countless species of plants and animals. By using sustainably sourced lumber, we can help to protect these important ecosystems and ensure that they continue to provide these valuable services for generations 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.
38x114 is the Canvas Size Needed for this 28x104 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.

Why shouldn't art be pretty? There are enough unpleasant things in the world.
♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir
A pivotal figure of the Impressionist movement, Pierre-Auguste Renoir held an ethos that shimmered with optimism. His work, awash with soft hues and scenes of everyday life, was an ode to the beauty and simplicity that surrounded him. At a time when the art world was in flux, with newer forms pushing boundaries and exploring deeper, often darker themes, Renoir's perspective offered a refreshing contrast.
Art has myriad roles: to challenge, to provoke, to inspire, and yes, to beautify. While some artists harness their craft to spotlight societal ills or inner turmoil, others, like Renoir, choose to celebrate the joyous and harmonious aspects of life. In a world where artists often grapple with complex narratives, Renoir's sentiment gently nudges us towards acknowledging the profound impact of beauty. It's not a retreat from reality but rather an assertion that amidst the chaos, there's a space for elegance and charm.
We have the liberty to decide what lens we view the world through. Renoir's words are an affirmation that it's alright to create art that offers solace, a respite, or simply a moment of delight. Amidst the cacophony of life's challenges, sometimes, a beautiful artwork is just the balm the soul needs.
We are innately drawn to the act of creation. We've channeled this drive to curate this inspiring quote and contex along with our own portrait we created of Pierre-Auguste Renoir..our tribute to the timeless dance of creativity. Go paint!
