We Letter Wooden Boats at Mast and Mallet
A wooden boat name looks right on a classic wooden boat. Mast and Mallet Boatworks hires us for many lettering jobs on their yachts. The process takes a whole day. First, you need someone at your marina to sand the transom well. Next, the transom should be varnished and sanded again before we arrive to begin gilding. Then we apply the design to the transom and letter it with size. After that, we apply the gold leaf. Finally, the size and leaf must be completely dry before we polish the letters with cotton. In the photo below, Brendon Brandon finishes the wooden boat lettering with a brush, applying the outline and shadow to the boat name.
Your Yacht Needs Life Rings and Teak Signs Too
Your wooden boat lettering can go beyond the transom. Designs & Signs in Edgewater, Maryland also makes teak quarterboards and personalized life rings. As a result, your yacht carries the same name in the same style everywhere it appears. Because every wooden boat is different, we plan the lettering to fit your transom. Tell us the boat name, the font, and the colors you like. If your boat already has a name, send us a photo, and we will match it.
