LINDSAY SEBRING'S HANDCRAFTED ART and CanvasSTRONG Canvases

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
