No. a stretcher as in the wooden frame that holds the canvas stretched tight and as used by an artist to paint on. The pre-made ones are expensive and don't come proportioned as Golden Rectangles.
I'm going for a small one about 18"x11.25" as I have a couple scraps of canvas still left. If I like my result I may borrow a table saw & make up a bunch of stock. The price of a 4'x5' stretched artists' canvas is now up to $100 US here!
That's about $4 worth of canvas and $4 worth of wood. Not only can I not afford to buy a big one, I refuse to buy a big one. It is not the measure of the rule, but the skill of the tool.
