3D™ Pro 3.5 Stretcher 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 3.5" deep stretched canvas (Actual depth is slightly thinner)
• 1.25" wide Stretcher Bar
• All Bars have an exclusive groove on the inside perimeter of the frame to which cross braces and Diamond Corner Braces attach
• 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.

I am now rich in fruitful ideas and I must produce my work. ♦ Amadeo Modigliani

A torchbearer of modernism, Amadeo Modigliani stood at the forefront of artistic transformation during a time when the world of art was undergoing radical shifts. His words reflect the urgency that many artists feel when inspiration strikes. For Modigliani, ideas were more than just fleeting thoughts; they were a currency, a wealth of creativity waiting to be channeled onto canvas.

This impulse is familiar to us. When our minds are teeming with concepts and visions, there's a compelling need to bring them to life, to share them with the world. For Modigliani, and indeed for many of us, the act of creation isn't merely a choice—it's an imperative. Because in the end, the wealth of our ideas is truly realized only when they are given form and shared, illuminating the world with the rich tapestry of our imaginations.
