10x24 Vincent Pro Keyable Braced Frame
- Drawing depicts the exact frame construction, not the proportion
- Precision machined medium duty keyable tongue-and-groove Stretcher Bars
- A 1/2" thick keyable brace (1.5" wide) provides sturdy support for this 10x24 size frame - Brace may be removed in reinserted at any time
- An exclusive slot is milled on the inside perimeter of the 24 Stretcher Bars to which the Brace and the expansion wedges attach
- Patented keyable brace allows the frame to be tensioned in the middle of the canvas, where the tension needed the most
- To increase canvas tension: 1) remove any staples in the corners and those that retain the brace keys in the middle, 2) tap all of the expansion keys further into their respective slots, 3) tighten and re-staple the canvas in the corners
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 Stretched Canvas Frame.
- Stretcher Bar Profile produces a 7/8" deep stretched canvas
- 1.5" wide Stretcher Bar
- Frames with a dimension of 16" and up have a groove machined in the center inside perimeter to which cross braces attach
- 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.
Cross Braces Make it Tighter
A tightly stretched canvas on an un-braced frame overpowers the Stretcher Bars causing them to bow inward and thereby lose tension. Sometimes that bow can expose a space in picture frames.
When a canvas is stretched on a properly supported frame, the cross-braces prevent the Bars from bowing thereby achieving maximum canvas tension. To increase the canvas tension even more, simply tap the corner and brace keys further in their slots. Properly supported frames provide you with the control over the canvas tension of your canvas and painting.
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.
Canvas Tension is in Your Control
In dry climates or air conditioned environments, the lack of moisture in the air causes wood frames to shrink and the canvas fibers to narrow and elongate making the canvas more slack and resulting in a loss of canvas tension. In some instances, the canvas could have waves on the surface resulting in an unsightly viewing experience.
Our Vincent™ Pro professional frames provide the functionality for you to slightly expand the size of the frame in the corners and the middle of the canvas, thereby increasing canvas tension all across the surface. The difference between a loose canvas and a tight canvas is just 1/8" of an inch, so a small adjustment using our corner and brace keys makes an important difference in canvas tension.
- Helps to prevent waves that occur in a loose canvas
- Increase canvas tension by tapping-in the corner and brace keys
- True professional class canvases make it possible for you to adjust the canvas tension

Light in nature creates movement in color.
♦ Robert Delaunay
The artistic explorations of Robert Delaunay were often rooted in his fascination with light and its transformative effects on color. His observations, driven by keen sensitivity to his surroundings, led him to discern that light, when it interacts with nature, brings out the vibrancy and dynamism in colors. The interplay between light and pigment is not just a physical phenomenon; it mirrors the delicate balance and interrelationship between different elements in art and life.
We recognize the potency of this relationship. Just as natural light can cast a spectrum of colors, illuminating the darkest corners and revealing hidden details, our own insights and perspectives can bring life to our creations. It's a reminder that the nuances of our work, the subtle gradations and shifts in tone, can evoke powerful emotions and narratives. Harnessing the dynamics of light and color is akin to tapping into the profound connections that bind us all, making art not just a visual treat but a soulful experience.
Echoing the timeless spirit of artistry, we bring you this quote paired with our beautiful portrait of Robert Delaunay that we created. Let your colors on the canvas speak!
