All of BEST's Stretcher Bars are designed so that the canvas is always a full ½" (except light weight) from the stretcher bar to ensure that there will be no "ghost" impressions on the canvas. The rounded back edge reduces surface friction and allows for a smoother, tighter draw on the canvas for a more even painting surface. All feature a slotted back for easy installation of cross braces. Bars are made of pure kiln-dried white pine. Measures 13⁄16" deep × 1 ½" wide
All Stretcher Bars are undersized by ⅛" to allow for fitting in a standard stock frame. If you require exact dimensions, this will be considered a custom order. Please call our Order Department 800-827-8478 ext. 218.
