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 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. Where 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.
Keys:	3 1/2” long & 5/32” thick, made of hardwood with serrated edges to ensure grip in the key slots.
