I found some time to try making my own stretchers for canvas. My table saw does a decent job putting a bevel on the wood, but I think a router may be a better tool for the job. I could also use it fancy up my custom picture frames a bit. Any tips from experienced woodworkers are appreciated.
I want to start painting bigger. With two newly stretched 20x30 canvases, I will have a great surface to paint.
