This is a pair of Jackson’s Museum Stretcher Bars with a profile dimension of 35 x 58mm, offering professional strength and stability for building custom canvases.

Crafted from 100% PEFC-certified pine, the wood is first kiln-dried to remove all moisture. It is then finger-jointed and triple-laminated, which eliminates the natural tendency of wood to twist or warp due to changes in heat and humidity. Laminated wood provides greater strength and stability than finger-jointed or solid wood.

Stretcher bars measuring 24in and over have center bar slots. Center bars 40in and larger will have a notch cut in the center, allowing crossbars to sit flush in a lap joint, providing extra support for larger canvases. Stretcher bars measuring 84in and over have two center bar slots for extra stability. Matching Jackson’s Museum Center Bars are available with a 20mm profile for these 35mm deep stretcher bars. Center bars are sold individually.
