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
Our Ecosystem Depends on Healthy Forests
Forests play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. They absorb carbon dioxide, filter air and water, and provide habitat for countless species of plants and animals. By using sustainably sourced lumber, we can help to protect these important ecosystems and ensure that they continue to provide these valuable services for generations to come.

- Up to 50% tighter than other methods
- Balanced tension across the surface
- Uncut folded corners make it possible to remove and re-stretch canvas on the same size frame

The more laws, the less justice.
♦ Cicero
Cicero, a luminary of ancient Rome, was not just an orator and philosopher, but also a lawyer deeply embedded in the political landscape of his era. His experiences within the convoluted Roman legal system and the tumultuous political upheavals of the time shaped this poignant observation. He saw firsthand how an overabundance of laws could sometimes act as a smokescreen, obscuring the true essence of justice and allowing for manipulation and misuse.
Artists can draw a parallel to the myriad rules and conventions that sometimes envelop creative expression. While certain guidelines can provide a foundation, becoming overly bound by them can stifle innovation and genuine expression. We should remember that our primary allegiance is to the spirit of our craft rather than rigid prescriptions. Just as Cicero championed the pure essence of justice over convoluted legalities, we too should prioritize authenticity and genuine expression over externally imposed norms.
Every artist thrives on inspiration. So we've offer this insightful quote with a uniquely crafted portrait of Cicero. May this story invigorate your creativity! Start painting!
