6x24 Monet Pro Raw No 10 Canvas 1-1/2" Deep #MRT-0624

True 4:1 Super Panorama Proportion - 6x24 Size

This dramatic 6x24 size is in the 4:1 Aspect Ratio.

The 4:1 Super Panorama proportion has gained interest with a lot of artists, providing even a more dramatic and eye-catching compositional format. The unusual proportion provides the artist with a unique perspective with which to tell their story on canvas. This proportion is called a "polyomino proportion on the order of 4", or a linear tetromino object.

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 canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1-5/8" wide Stretcher Bar
• Frames with a dimension of 20" and up have a groove machined in the center inside perimeter to which cross braces attach
• 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.

6x24 Monet Pro Keyable Braced 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
• A 3/4" thick super strong keyable brace (1.5" wide) provides robust support for this 6x24 size frame - Brace may be removed in reinserted at any time
• An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of the 24 Stretcher Bars to which the Brace and the expansion wedges attach
• To increase canvas tension, remove any staples that retain the brace keys in the middle, then tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots

Canvas Tension is in Your Control

In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.

Our Monet™ Pro professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8", so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.

• Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
• Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
• True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension

Cross Braces Make it Tighter

A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.

When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.

Selective Harvesting in our Sustainable Forests

Intelligent selective harvesting of timber is an ecological method to replace the natural occurrences of forest fires and disease and landslides that can devastate forests. This is all part of the process of sustainable forest management to which we subscribe when we choose which lumber we use in our products.

Every man has a right to risk his own life for the preservation of it. ♦ Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was known for challenging prevailing notions and advocating for a return to a more natural state of existence. In the labyrinth of his thoughts, he proposed that individuals inherently possess certain rights, simply by virtue of their humanity.

His point is that we accept many risks to pursue our passion. While it may not be a physical risk, every brushstroke can be seen as an artist risking a piece of themselves for the preservation of their vision and voice. It's a gamble with public perception, with personal expectations, and sometimes with our very livelihoods. Yet, we embrace this risk because, for many of us, creating is as essential as breathing. It's a necessary act of preserving our essence, our perspectives, and our place in the vast tapestry of history.

The act of creation is inherently tied to vulnerability and exposure. But as Rousseau posits, every individual possesses the innate right to risk, to dare, and to venture into the unknown for the very preservation of what makes them unique. And so, with each new piece we create, we echo this sentiment, embracing both our inherent rights and the inherent risks that come with them.
