Monet™ Pro 1.5" Deep 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 1.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 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.

• Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
• Strainer Bars are used when the short side is under 10" inches
• Fixed Corner Frame - Not keyable or expandable
• No cross braces required when the frame length is under 20", but this frame provides very robust and solid support for this 4x7 size frame

Tree Replanting - Essential to Sustainably Managed Forests

Harvesting timber provides humans with an essential natural resource, but replanting trees at a rate higher than a harvest is a key component in humanity's effort to guarantee a healthy forest for the future. Increasing our number of trees is just as essential to our economy, as the harvest itself, which is why we select only timber harvested from responsibly managed forests.

What I seek before all else in a painting is a man, not a painting. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin, one of the most revolutionary post-Impressionist painters, always pushed the boundaries of artistic convention. His departure from the metropolitan luxuries of France to the untouched, raw landscapes of Tahiti wasn't just a geographical journey, but a profound quest for humanity. This perspective is encapsulated in his words, urging us to seek the deeper essence, the human story, beyond mere colors and brush strokes.

While it's tempting for artists to become enamored by technique, to endlessly perfect every detail and nuance, Gauguin challenges us to prioritize the soul, the emotion, the human element in our work. Our paintings should evoke, not just a visual appeal, but the very pulse and heartbeat of life itself. When spectators stand before our canvases, they should feel a connection, an empathic link, not just with us, the artists, but with humanity at large. Gauguin's perspective encourages us to craft not just paintings, but portals into the very essence of existence.
