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.

I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint..
♦ Claude Monet
Claude Monet, the pioneering figure of Impressionism, was renowned for capturing the nuances of light and color in nature. His works, characterized by fleeting moments of beauty, often belied the painstaking effort and abundant experimentation that went into their creation. Behind the serene water lilies and ethereal morning mists lay countless hours of meticulous observation and an ocean of discarded paint. Monet's humble admission about using up and wasting paint underscores the reality of the artistic process: it's often messy, unpredictable, and full of trials.
This sentiment serves as a gentle reminder that the path to brilliance is paved with mistakes, experiments, and, yes, even waste. Our canvases bear the evidence of our explorations, with layers of paint telling tales of visions adjusted and techniques refined. It's in this iterative process, where we invest our resources and time without the assurance of perfection, that we find our voice and hone our craft. Monet's unyielding pursuit of his unique vision inspire us to embrace every part of the creative process, even the messy bits, as integral to our growth and evolution as artists.
We offer you these words of wisdom and our take on the message in hope to inspire your art. We also pay tribute by creating this unique portrait of Claude Monet. Go paint!
