Broken boxes will attract a slight premium
Do not confuse these quality fir stretcher bars with the cheap "royal paulowina" woods that are being imported from China.

These Professional hand-crafted, kiln-dried pine stretcher bars are made to the highest specifications and offer you the unique opportunity to purchase stretcher strips and crossbars that fit together like fine furniture for the tightest possible fit and easiest assembly possible. ProBar Stretcher strips feature the traditional tongue-in-groove joint. Crossbars fit perfectly in custom slots in the stretcher frame and are Dado cut in the center to create a finished one piece look.
The ProBar stretcher is made from kiln dried pine timber which is carefully selected to eliminate knots and ensure a perfect match with each and every bar. These bars are "dead straight" and not subject to warping and will lie 100% flat against the wall.
Because of the increased width and strength, there is less of a requirement for cross braces. Bars are 44mm wide and 21mm high
These cross braces are to fit with our standard or gallery stretcher bars as stipulated
Our cross braces slide easily into the stretcher bars for a solid fit and are sold only with stretcher strip orders. For stretcher bar sizes longer than 24" use of cross braces will provide better strength and stability. Let us know the size of the overall canvas frame and, we will suggest single or cross braces.
Available as either an Economy or a Premium 2 way profile.
The Eterna 2 way stretcher profiles are designed so that you can either use the shorter edge for a Standard depth type profile, or you can use the deeper edge for a Gallery depth type profile.
Long lengths ready for you to mitre and join to make up your own stretcher frames.
The Economy stretcher profile is manufactured from a strong Fir wood and our Premium stretcher profile from a harder Pine wood
