12" BEST Medium-Duty Stretcher Bar #890103

These stretcher-bars are designed so the canvas is kept at ½” from the stretcher. This prevents “ghost” impressions in the canvas. The rounded back edge of the bar prevents surface friction and allows for a smoother and tighter draw of the canvas. This produces that all-important smooth and even painting surface. 

Features of the BEST Medium Duty Stretcher Bar:

• Corners square easily
• Solid kiln-dried white pine wood
• Rounded back
• Fit together well - not too tight
• Heavy enough to withstand a staple gun
• Slotted back permits easy installation of cross-braces
• Lip provides ½” separation from stretcher bar to prevent ghost impressions
