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.
7x12 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 7x12 size frame
Sustainably Managed Forests Inhale and Exhale
The world's forests are essential to human survival. Forests inhale carbon dioxide for the earth, and exhale oxygen essential for life. When we speak of the sustainable forest strategy of ensuring that more timber will exist in the same forest land than exists today, this is the only viable plan for the future of humanity. For this reason, we use only lumber from the sustainable forests of Oregon, Washington, and California, where thereÕs more standing timber today than last century!

Only two ways to live life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
♦ Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein, a physicist who altered our understanding of the universe, often dabbled in profound philosophical musings, and this particular insight beautifully captures his awe for the world around him. While best known for his groundbreaking work in physics, Einstein was also deeply introspective, musing on the broader questions of life and existence. He challenges us to choose our perspective: to see the world either as a series of mundane occurrences or as a sequence of awe-inspiring wonders.
This sentiment is particularly poignant. In our work, we have the opportunity to showcase the miracles around us, from the grandeur of a landscape to the intricate details of a still life. Through our creations, we urge others to see the magic in the everyday. As we translate our observations and feelings onto canvas, we choose to live in a world where every brushstroke, every color, and every emotion can be a celebration of life's miraculous tapestry.
Echoing the timeless spirit of artistry, we bring you this quote paired with our beautiful portrait of Albert Einstein that we created. Let your colors on the canvas speak!
