CanvasSTRONG Canvases

What makes us special? Each panel is hand crafted and carefully reviewed by artist and builder, Lindsay Sebring, every step of the process. 

Materials:

  • 1/8 inch double sided smooth finished masonite wood

  • Douglas furr pine 1x2 inch trim

  •  Pin-nails

  • Titebond Original wood-glue professional strength, interior use

  • Wood putty

  • White Acrylic Gesso Student and Professional Golden Brand

 

Construction:

  • Framing pieces are cut to custom size as well as masonite board 

  • The ends are cut at a 45 degree angle for piecing the joints together at a 90 degree

  • a corner clamp is used for perfection and woodglue is inserted between either piece for extra strength

  • the frame is then pin-nailed together for maximum security

  • the masonite is then centered on the frame with wood-glue and pin-nailed

  • the overhanging edges of masonite get routered off flush to the frame

  • pin-nailed holes are wood-puttied to match natural wood finish. (We do not wood stain or paint finishing material over raw wood)

 

Finishing Touches:

  • The entire front surface and sides of the framing are then sanded for a smooth finish

  • after the canvas is free of dust it is then gessoed with 3 to 5 layers and sanded again for a smooth and beautiful finished product
