This fabric stretching system for artists' canvases, silk screens, and the like, utilizes extruded, specially profiled, wood-like material in place of conventional wooden bars to form a frame on which canvas is stretched. Each corner of the frame is joined by two identical corner braces, which mate to profiled features of the frame and lock the bars rigidly together. The extruded frame material, which is made from recycled wood and other organic materials held in a plastic binder, maintains the weight and feel of traditional wooden frames but is free of many of the disadvantages of wood. The material as extruded is ready for use. It needs only to be cut to the desired length, an operation which can be done with a simple miter saw. Two braces are used in each corner, the second containing adjustment screws for tensioning. This arrangement makes for simple assembly and assures a rock solid frame which can be adjusted to provide additional tension on the canvas at time of assembly or at any future time.
