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
No Finger Joints!
Solid Wood is far superior to finger jointed wood, which is many small pieces glued together, each with varying grain densities that absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, expanding and contracting non-uniformly as environmental conditions change, and causing the wood to bow and the finger joints to eventually fail.
A single homogeneous kiln-dried solid wood Stretcher Bar outperforms and outlasts a finger jointed Bar whose sole purpose is to save the manufacturer cost, not contribute to the archival value of artwork intended to last a millennium. As a manufacturer, Masterpiece® does its part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.
6x8 Monet Pro Strainer Frame
- 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 6x8 size frame
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.

Why should the devil have all the good tunes?
♦ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a prodigious composer of the classical era, was known not just for his unparalleled contributions to the world of music, but also for his whimsical, often rebellious, attitude towards established norms. Breaking away from the traditional shackles of his time, he often threaded where others hesitated, challenging and reshaping musical boundaries.
This quip highlights his cheeky challenge to conventions. Just as Mozart dared to venture into compositions that were deemed unconventional or even controversial, it prompts us to question why we, in our artistry, should limit ourselves to the predictable. When faced with the vast expanse of creativity, why should we not be daring, bold, or even a tad devilish? Art, after all, is an expression of our innermost feelings and thoughts, and placing boundaries upon it diminishes its potential. It reminds us to embrace all aspects of creativity and to not shy away from the unconventional, for in doing so, we might just stumble upon our own magnum opus.
Journey with us as we blend the wisdom and our own artistic representation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. May this alliance empower your artistic soul. Begin your masterpiece!
