Our corners are
hand folded:
Unlike machine-made canvases, all the corners on our canvases are hand
folded on opposing sides. This technique eliminates having two folds on any
one side, thus eliminating any chance of binding when framing the
painting.
 Rust
Free Galvanized Staples:
Every staple we use is galvanized, eliminating staple corrosion and any
chance of rust forming.
Perfect
90° Angles:
We use machinist accuracy in creating perfect 90°
angles while assembling all our stretcher bars frames.

No Rubber or Vinyl Splines to worry about:
Our canvases do not use splines. Splines can pop out --which produces a loose canvas which will ultimately need re-stretching.
We use kiln-dried clear Sugar or
Ponderosa Pine
No Splinters or Warping. Kiln dried
means it contains no moisture and it remains straight.
Beware of moist Douglas Fir that splinters and might
warp.
Ponderosa Pine is one of the most widely distributed
pines in western North America.

All woods
shrink and swell to some degree as their moisture
content fluctuates with atmospheric conditions. However,
Ponderosa is relatively unaffected by changes in
humidity after drying, making it valuable for work
that requires close-fitting joints. It has a uniform
cell structure and shrinks only a moderate amount, in
comparison to other softwood species. It seasons
beautifully with minimal splitting, cupping, or warping.
