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.

• 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 8x13 size frame

Every stroke of the brush is a dance between the artist's heart and the canvas. ♦ Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A leader in the impressionist movement, Pierre-Auguste Renoir had an extraordinary ability to infuse life into his work. With each piece, he invited viewers into a symphony of color and emotion, creating a dance of passion and precision. This connection between emotion and technique exemplifies the intimate relationship between an artist's innermost feelings and their chosen medium.

In our careers, as we paint or sculpt, we're often in search of that harmonious balance where heart and hand are seamlessly intertwined. The challenge is in letting our emotions guide our hand without overshadowing the technical skill we've honed over the years. It's this dance, as Renoir so elegantly described, that brings forth the magic in art, making us fall in love with the process all over again.
