Additionally, we make matching custom life rings and carved teak quarterboards. Generally, we service marinas and homes in Annapolis and Edgewater. Related services include traditional gilding by hand for restored transoms of classic wooden boats and wooden yachts.
The process explained, from start to finish
First, we present our customers with a portfolio of select fonts to consider. Then, a site survey of the boat whenever possible, or we ask the owner for photos and measurements if the boat is not near our shop. Finally, you will provide and create a scale drawing to show the customer exactly what their craft will look like when we install the lettering. Typically our custom boat names will last ten years.
