BEST Light-duty Stretcher Bars

Description

Great for small paintings!

The BEST Light-duty Stretcher Bar is made from white pine. There is a greater supply of pine in the thinner and shorter length, so we use high-quality white pine for these bars. The lightweight bars are extremely useful in small paintings. Note – The lightweight bars are not for use on large paintings. These bars can save you money and make framing easier; perfect for beginners, college students, and small works of art.

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.
