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

Finger Jointed Wood is not meant for Stretcher Bars

Solid wood makes the most dependable Stretcher Bar, because one homogeneous wood member is going to behave similarly across the entire length of the Bar. Whereas, with finger-jointed wood is made-up of multiple pieces of wood, sometimes on the actual joint itself, presenting multiple points of failure which no one can control.

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 add or reduce value to your final painting. The fact is, you don't want problems, and finger joints only increase that risk of the wood falling apart in the future.

The glue used to bind finger joints is a water based adhesive and when that wood is exposed to high humidity environments, particularly with exterior walls, the glue joints can give-up. 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.

I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring. ♦ James Whistler

Known for his wit as much as for his art, James Whistler had a remarkable ability to intertwine humor with poignant reflections on life. This quote demonstrates his talent in doing just that — addressing the age-old debate on nature versus nurture in the realm of artistic genius, but with a touch of personal jest and light-heartedness.

Whistler's life was one characterized by an unwavering commitment to his art and an audacious confidence in his unique vision. His career, however, was not without its challenges and critiques. Throughout it all, he remained committed to his style, unfazed by the ebb and flow of popular opinion. In this quip, he pokes fun at the idea of whether his unmistakable talent could have been passed down, but laments, in jest, that he's had no children to prove or disprove the theory.

This musing serves as a gentle reminder that while we might inherit certain traits or talents, it's our individual experiences, choices, and passions that truly shape our artistic identity. We are, in essence, the culmination of myriad influences, both inherited and acquired. Whistler's jest encourages us to focus less on where our talents come from and more on how we choose to nurture and express them in our own unique way.
