The Super Bar is truly that – a very super bar. The Super Bar is made of pine that has been finger spliced. Finger splicing is a method of bonding pieces of lumber together to form a very long, straight bar. Since the spliced joints are actually stronger than the natural wood, we can now get longer, stronger and straighter bars than ever before. First designed for the construction industry, this high tech method yields better bars than ever before. Beautifully straight bars from 8″ to 12′! (Contact us for sizes over 74") BEST stretcher bars are made by Jack Richeson & Co., Inc. in Kimberly, Wisconsin.
• Sold individually
• Heavy-duty bars are recommended for canvases over 48"
