Canvas stretching

Hi! This week I didn’t quite learn how to make a frame, but I got to watch a professional stretch a canvas. Basically canvas stretching is required if you want to put it in a frame or hang it on the wall. It makes it look a lot more neater than hanging the rolled canvas. It requires a stretcher to stretch the rolled canvas around the wooden border. To keep it on the border it is nailed tightly. I also learned that you need to make the white border a bit bigger than the wooden border. If the border is smaller than the border it would cut off the picture. Something I was surprised about was how tightly my dad stretched the canvas. The corners look absolutely perfect once it was finshed.
