Gold leaf lettering on a Mast & Mallet.
The best gold leaf boat names are right here in Edgewater at Mast & Mallet! Are you looking for natural gold lettering for your classic wooden boat? We can do that. We’ll do a site survey and provide a font portfolio for review. Choose one good font, and then we can draw your transom or provide you with a mock photo. This rendering will give you a good idea of how your boat name will look before installing it. You can suggest revisions at this time if needed. After you approve the drawing, we will schedule your installation as soon as possible.
How long does it take to make a gold leaf boat name?
Installation of real gold leaf lettering by hand requires a full day on-site to complete. From preparation to installation, the process requires patience. If we rush the job during installation, it would be easy to make a mistake, and mistakes in this type of work are not fixable. However, with years of experience in the trade, we always get our gold leaf boat names done right on the first try.

We gild old-fashioned boat names.
You can’t beat hand lettering on a classic wood transom. Simply beautiful: Regina Marie, Annapolis, MD. A wood transom with traditional 23 karat gold leaf lettering and a hand-painted outline. There’s nothing better than a brilliant gold leaf boat name on a wooden yacht, and gilding by hand is how it has been done for generations.
First, we prepare and varnish the transom. Next, we render the gold leaf lettering by hand. Then the gold gets a protective coat before we paint the outline onto the letters. After that, the lettering needs a couple of days to cure. Finally, your team can apply multiple coats of varnish over the transom. With regular upkeep of the varnish, this beautiful gold leaf boat name will last a lifetime.
