Cross braces are important. Remember that a painting may hang for years, and a long length of lumber can bow. Many artists require extra strength and stability in their stretcher bars and that’s why Best Artist Products
manufacture the highest quality cross braces. Best Pro-Bar Cross Braces are made from sturdy, kiln dried pine. Note: When ordering cross braces, please specify which layout you desire. Designs with overlapping cross braces require notching of the bars at each intersection. A notching charge applies to each groove cut.
