Searching for Better Stretcher Bar

Buying stretcher bars for canvas stretching purposes presents a kind of duality. On one hand, finding stretcher strips in today’s world is a relatively simple task. All you have to do is visit a nearby artist’ supplies store and find all the canvas stretcher accessories you need. However, on the other hand, finding the best quality stretcher strips may not be that easy. In most cases, you’d find products that either have a low quality or are simply, too exorbitantly priced. The real challenge, therefore, is to find a stretcher bar that is of a good quality and also carries a price tag that is easy on your pockets.

So, where does one find such bars?
 
One of the best places to find high quality stretcher bar products at low prices is the Internet. There are many online stores to be found nowadays that deal exclusively in stretcher bar products and other accessories. Apart from their usually competitive pricing, you can also order them in large quantities to avail of attractive bulk discounts. Some of the better manufacturers/sellers out there use ingenious innovations to make their bars even stronger and more durable. One such practice is to use short splines instead of longer, continuous pieces of wood to craft the bars. The use of short splines actually adds to the overall strength of the bar and increases its ability to resist warping or bending manifold. This is really a remarkable innovation as it makes the quality of the bars much superior to conventional kinds and assures the buyer of top-notch performance throughout their life.
