3/4" x 3" Standard Bars and Braces

A very popular profile used for small & medium canvas sizes ranging from 12" to 60" (30 cm to 150 cm) . This profile used along with our 1/2" x 3" braces provides very strong and stable support for canvases.

Material: Kiln dried, solid or finger jointed clear white pine
Maximum Length: 72" (180 cm) for custom bars 60" (152 cm) for stock bars
Minimum Length: 10" (25 cm) for custom bars, 12" (30 cm) for stock bars
Stock Bar Sizes:  12" to 60" bars in 2" length increments
Stock Kits: complete frames with bars, braces and keys available in several sizes.  GO TO FRAME KITS
Custom Sizes: Cut as ordered to the nearest 1/16" or 1mm Go to Quote Form | Go to Order Form
Braces:  1/2” x 3” clear white pine (solid & finger jointed)  normally spaced at no greater than 30” centres starting at bar lengths of 40”. For frame sizes less than 40”, braces are often used to provide protection to the back of the canvas. Each custom made brace is designed with a 1/4”x 1/2” x 3” tenon on each end which fits into a matching mortise on the stretcher bar. The brace includes a very effective and attractive “hidden” slot design which holds the keys firmly in place.   All braces 40" and over have a dado joint milled in the center for assembling as a cross-brace (one brace each direction). Where the braces intersect, a 3” wide 1/4” deep dado is machined in each brace to provide a tight and flush nesting of the braces. This joint is fastened together with a low profile, insert nut & bolt during final assembly.
        

Keyed Brace & Bracket Option:  We offer a brace design using screwed-in brackets instead of mortise & tenon.  The brace & bracket design is used in situations where you keep a large stock of bars of different sizes and mix and match bars to create a variety of stretcher frame sizes.  More information on Brace & Bracket system
Keys:
3-1/2” long & 5/32” thick, made of hardwood.  Two keys supplied per bar and brace sold.
