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.

• 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.

What is Sustainable Forestry?

To a forester, the term "sustainable" could mean exercising industry adopted forestry practices to maintain a forest indefinitely. To a logger, the process of proper care for the trees remaining after a harvest. To a landowner, their interest may lie in keeping their forest in the family. And to those of involved in the process of making and using wood-based art supplies, it can mean promoting and supporting an industry dedicated to the preservation of our precious natural resource. We can all do our part to care for our national forests.

An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc. ♦ Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse, a pillar in the realm of modern art, was known not just for his iconic use of color, but also for his fearless evolution as an artist. Throughout his art career, Matisse was an epitome of adaptability and experimentation. From his early days as a Fauvist to his revolutionary cut-out period in his later years, he continually sought ways to express himself, refusing to be constrained by any particular style or medium.

Matisse's words serve as a guiding principle. We find ourselves often standing at the crossroads of expectations and personal expression. Do we adhere to the tried and tested, or venture into the unknown? Do we let the weight of past successes define our future, or do we allow our art to evolve organically? Matisse's exhortation reminds us that true creativity thrives when unshackled. While accolades and recognition are rewarding, they should not become golden cages that stifle our growth. As we wield our brushes, sculpt, or sketch, our primary allegiance should always be to our inner voice, ensuring that we remain true to ourselves, irrespective of external pressures. In doing so, we not only honor our own artistic spirit but also inspire those who witness our unbridled passion and dedication to craft.
