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.

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 hope to depart in no other way than looking back with love and wistfulness and thinking, 'Oh paintings that I would have made!'. ♦ Vincent Van Gogh

For someone like Vincent Van Gogh, the act of creating was not just a pastime but a relentless drive, an unwavering force that consumed his every thought. The canvases he left behind are a testament to a life lived in passionate pursuit of beauty and meaning. Yet, even in this intense dedication, Van Gogh felt the weight of time and the infinite possibilities that lay just beyond his reach.

This sentiment is one that many of us can identify with, especially when considering the path of our art careers. The boundless horizons, the ideas not yet brought to life, and the art not yet formed—it all beckons with the allure of what could be. In embracing this longing, we not only honor the work we've done but also the work that lies ahead. It's a delicate dance between satisfaction and yearning. As artists, our creative spirit is both a gift and a challenge, pushing us to constantly envision more, even as we cherish the masterpieces we've already crafted.
