cross bar/brace

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretcher_bar

"Another way in which stretcher bars can be strengthened is by having a cross brace inserted. It is advised that lengths over 40" or 1m be fitted with a cross brace. By doing this it ensures the wood will not warp and will hang flat."

Indeed, a bit toMAYto/toMAHto. My experience has seen crosspiece used more in a general woodworking context, and crossbar/brace used more frequently when referring to canvas structure.
