Any advice on the best buys on stretcher bars?

The ones I need are for the 48 x 60 canvas I need to stretch - and I underestimated my cost... which leads me to the question: Are the numbers in the POS data files for stretcher bars?

Thanks,

Roz
 
On large jobs lide yours I go to the lumber yard and get "brick moulding" and chop my own.
 
Old Grange sells stock at $1.00 per foot. Not the least expensive stuff around, but not all that bad in a pinch for the longer stuff.
 
If you can get by using strainers instead of stretchers, Larson-Juhl sells 100’ bundles of 1/2” x 1-5/8” for about 45¢/foot; and 3/4” x 2-1/4” stock for about 67¢/foot.

You can get either sizes chopped, but the prices are $1.54 and $2.39, respectively.
