Vincent™ Pro 7/8" Deep Bar • 5/16" Canvas Clearance
5/16" 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.

- 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
- Solid Ponderosa Pine or Fir from the Pacific Northwest
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.

What is Sustainable Forestry?
To a forester, the term "sustainable" could mean exercising industry adopted forestry practices to maintain a forest indefinitely. To a logger, the process of proper care for the trees remaining after a harvest. To a landowner, their interest may lie in keeping their forest in the family. And to those of involved in the process of making and using wood-based art supplies, it can mean promoting and supporting an industry dedicated to the preservation of our precious natural resource. We can all do our part to care for our national forests.

To be awake is to be alive.
♦ Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau, a profound thinker and eloquent writer, always sought a deeper connection with the world around him. Nestled in his cabin by Walden Pond, he observed, reflected, and commented on the very nature of existence. To Thoreau, being 'awake' was not merely the act of opening one's eyes every morning but was an active engagement with life, a continuous quest for understanding and self-realization.
The act of creating is often synonymous with being awake. It's in those moments of crafting and shaping our art that we feel the most connected to our inner selves and the world. It's a state of heightened awareness, where every brushstroke, every note, and every movement becomes an echo of our soul. Thoreau's words serve as a gentle reminder for us to stay present, to be constantly curious, and to embrace each moment of our artistic path with vigor and passion, for that is when we truly feel alive.
Creativity is a dance between inspiration and innovation. Our own self portrait creation of Henry David Thoreau twirls alongside these profound words, hoping to set the stage for your next artistic performance. Now go do your dance on the canvas!
