True 1:1 Square Proportion - 10x10 Size
10x10 is one of our most desirable square sizes.
The square is perhaps the most intriguing proportion, as it is root of all of the other proportions. It is commonly used in both photography and art. Squares are typically used as the center canvas of a triptych or as a single canvas hung at a 45° angle. The square proportion is long used with medium format professional cameras, and most photographs we see on websites and social media are based on square images. Since all sides of the canvas are the same length, your eye is drawn evenly across the surface of the painting creating a sense of harmony, balance, and a generally a pleasing visual experience. The square format is also a good choice for artists who focus on geometric shapes or patterns in their work, as the regularity of the square shape can help reinforce these elements. Some artists enjoy the challenge of working within the confines of a square format, as it forces them to think creatively resulting in intriguing compositions.

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.

Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not
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 make are part of the archival process.
The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.
As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made 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.

He who does not value life does not deserve it.
♦ Leonardo da Vinci
The polymath genius of the Renaissance era, Leonardo da Vinci wasn't merely an artist but also an inventor, scientist, mathematician, and philosopher. His insatiable curiosity about the world around him and the intricate workings of nature made him delve deep into the study of anatomy, flight, hydraulics, and more. His notebooks, filled with sketches and observations, provide a window into the mind of a man ceaselessly fascinated by life's mysteries.
Every moment is an opportunity for inspiration, every emotion a potential brushstroke, every experience a shade or hue waiting to be cast onto canvas. Like da Vinci, we understand that to create is to engage deeply with life, to question, to wonder, and to celebrate its myriad facets. By valuing life, we become attuned to its rhythms, finding beauty in its chaos and meaning in its fleeting moments. In the dance of shadows and light, in the curve of a smile or the sorrow of a tear, we see stories waiting to be told. So, as we hold our brushes and face our canvases, we are reminded to cherish life with all its intricacies, knowing that our art is but a reflection of our profound appreciation for it.
To enhance your creative exploration of our site, we offer the insightful wisdom of Leonardo da Vinci, our interpretation, and little one-of-a-kind portrait that we created. Now go paint!
