Heavy duty gallery wrap
stretcher bars
allow for a finished look that appears more substantial. The heavy duty gallery wrap stretcher bars are available in many different sizes and can be cut to specific dimensions. A
heavy duty stretcher bar
allows an artist to create large works while creating pieces that do not require
custom picture framing. Starvin' Artist is an amazing custom picture framer that is also an art supply store in the Chicago area. Heavy-duty solid pine stretcher bars are kiln-dried and finger jointed for stronger, straighter, warp-resistant bars. They feature a tongue and groove miter for easy assembly and a slotted back for easy installation of corner and cross braces. The profile of the bar keeps the canvas up and away from the bar, preventing sagging and impressions on the painted surface. The rounded back edge allows for a tight stretch and an even painting surface. Each bar measures 2"w x 1.5"d and has an 8mm peg hole. The
heavy duty gallery wrap stretcher bar
is the standard for modern artwork without a frame because it allows for the side edge to be finished.
