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.

• 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
• Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

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 make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. ♦ Cicero

Cicero, one of the most eloquent orators and philosophers of ancient Rome, understood the profound impact of human relationships. Living during a tumultuous period in Roman history, he witnessed political upheavals, personal betrayals, and the ever-present intrigue of the Roman court. Amidst this backdrop, he discovered and wrote about the healing power of genuine friendships, recognizing their ability to amplify our joys and cushion our sorrows.

This insight resonates deeply. The path we tread is often filled with highs of recognition and lows of doubt. It's in these moments that friendships, be they with fellow artists or others, become our anchor. Sharing our successes, celebrating milestones, or simply seeking solace in moments of uncertainty, friends help us navigate the unpredictable seas of our art career. Their presence acts as a buffer, shielding us from the harshest blows and elevating our most cherished moments. As Cicero so aptly put it, with friends by our side, we're better equipped to face the myriad emotions that define our lives and our work.
