PROFESSIONAL STRETCHER
Our most popular stretcher bar profile with professional
artists and conservators. It provides solid structural support in a keyable
wood system without excessive bulk or weight. 3/16" rebate on the
back side allows for a protective backing.
...from Rebecca Langstaff, Professional Artist, Toronto, Canada - December 10, 2004
"I just wanted to let you know that I received my stretchers and they are beautiful! They are well built and the final canvas looks strong, professional, perfectly square and archivally correct. I am very impressed. Thank you for contributing to the professional quality of my artwork. It is so nice to see a company that takes pride in producing a quality product."

Cross Brace:
|
1/2” x 3” clear white pine or basswood normally spaced
at no greater than 30” centres starting at bar lengths of 48”.
For frame sizes less than 48”, cross braces are often used to
provide protection of the canvas. Each cross brace is designed with
a 1/4”x1/2"x 3” tenon on each end which fits into a
matching mortice on the stretcher bar. The cross brace includes a
very effective and attractive “hidden” slot design which
holds the keys firmly in place. Where cross braces intersect, a 3” wide 1/4” deep dado is machined in each brace to provide a tight and flush nesting of the braces. This joint is normally fastened together with a wood screw during final assembly. |
|
Keys:
|
3 1/2” long & 5/32” thick, made of hard maple with serrated edges to ensure grip in the key slots. |
