We cut and assemble our own wooden stretchers using 5/8" and 1" thick dried material that we stock from reputable framing suppliers. We glue and assemble each stretcher by hand. All our stretchers are custom made and we do not use any flimsy precut bars like many art stores carry. We can order 2" deep bars on request.
Stretching Options
We can stretch your canvas print around wooden stretcher bars and staple on the sides or back of the stretcher frame. This leaves blank (white) canvas on the sides and ready for framing. We call this a "standard stretch". Alternatively we can print larger than the wooden stretcher and staple in the back wrapping the bar with image area. This becomes suitable for immediate presentation without framing. We can use the sides of the original image to wrap around if there is enough space by cropping in. We call this a "standard wrap" (we need about 1.5 inches all the way around for our 1" stretchers). Or we can duplicate the outside edges of the original in the computer and add a "mirror" flipped image of them around the edge of the stretchers. This makes the image appear to "fold over the edge and continue along the sides to the back. The "mirrored" version allows for reproductions to match the original in size and proportion (a mirror wrap). Wraps come with wire and hangers ready for hanging.
