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.

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. ♦ Anatole France

Anatole France, an eminent French writer and Nobel laureate, eloquently delved into the human psyche, observing the intricate dance between longing and loss. His reflections on change embody the universal sentiment of holding onto memories, relationships, and identities, while simultaneously yearning for transformation. Each transition brings with it a sense of mourning for what is left behind, even as we eagerly anticipate what lies ahead.

This sentiment is particularly potent. As we evolve in our art careers, our styles, techniques, and visions often undergo metamorphosis. Each canvas, sculpture, or sketch holds a piece of who we were at that moment in time. And as we venture into new creative territories, we might sometimes feel the pang of nostalgia for earlier expressions of our art. Yet, embracing this cycle of transformation is what allows us to grow, innovate, and truly connect with our ever-evolving inner selves. While change may come with its own set of melancholies, it also paves the way for unprecedented explorations and unparalleled creations.
