We use only sap-free,kiln-dried wood for all of our stretcher strips. They are precision-cut with the most modern equipment available to ensure that every one you assemble will have perfectly square corners.
Standard size is 1½" wide × ¾" thick(38 mm × 19 mm). Tightening wedges are included.
Price is per strip, not per pair. Four strips are required to assemble one rectangular canvas.
Comments about Blick Precision-Cut Stretcher Strips:
I could not find the exact length I was looking for anywhere else, unless I bought ten of them, so you have a good selection of merchandise.. I knew what I was buying when I ordered the product. I knew it wasn't the highest quality, nor was it the lowest. It fell in the middle, which was fine.
I did, however, pay just as much for shipping as the product. Bummer!

Comments about Blick Precision-Cut Stretcher Strips:
I bought some longer sizes and was worried they might be torked or warped as I've had problems with from other vendors. These were good, sturdy, solid wood and perfectly straight.
I highly recommend.

Comments about Blick Precision-Cut Stretcher Strips:
The ease of putting together with stretcher strips is important to me, maybe the most important thing I encounter. Did try another brand recently, just so I'd cover my bases, and will never do that again. Hard getting together and squaring each corner. Love there, will continue coming back to Blick Strips.

Best Value with reliable, good quality.

Comments about Blick Precision-Cut Stretcher Strips:
Use for computer created art printed with HP1050c on 36" canvas rolls. Best value I've seen and Blicks is easy to do business with. I have done several hundred frames 24 x 30 and larger - all satisfactory. Six + or - warped bars in well over 500 bars. I ordered 200 bars from another company to see what their bars were like on line and had over 50% completely unusable stock and what was usable need to have cross bracing to take the stretch load. "I like them tight!" Well done Blicks.

Comments about Blick Precision-Cut Stretcher Strips:
I really like the stretcher strips - very good quality and easy, breezy to put together. The only thing I would recommend to Blick is to package them all into one shipping box - instead of the 3 separate boxes I received

weak.

Pros

Comments about Blick Precision-Cut Stretcher Strips:
really quite weak. had to stretch a canvas three times (each looser than the last) to keep the corners from buckling. canvas ended up being too loose to even bother with the gesso. never really had this problem before using these particular strips, and i can't really think of anything i did differently. I bought some similar weighted strips from a local art store as replacements and they held up just fine ...
if you have made up your mind to buy the Blick's strips, have a couple wooden triangles handy to nail on the back to reinforce the corners, or get the thicker strips.

I was surprised at the weight of these strips because I expected them to be flimsy but they were sturdy and easy to put together. This was my first time of trying the stretcher bars but I will definetly try them again. The price was right too !

The canvas stretcher bars and pliers worked beautifully. Bars were precision cut and easy to assemble. Enclosed wedges smoothed out my minor stretching imperfections.
