Carved Quarterboards

Hand-carved quarterboards made from teak and mahogany

First the wood (teak or mahogany) is shaped and then the letters are carved by hand. The boards are then sanded and cleaned to remove the surface oils. Once the wood is clean the boards are given 4-6 coats of alspare marine varnish. After that the size is applied and then the gold leaf sheets are applied by hand as the size begins the dry. Another coat of varnish is applied and then the outline is applied by hand with a lettering brush. The board get 4 to 6 more coats of varnish and then they are ready for installation. We provide rubber spacers for your convenience. The boards take about 3 weeks to make as there is drying time between each step.
