Teak quarterboards with gold leaf lettering
These quarterboards have gold leaf lettering and a hand-painted black outline in Sherwin-Williams paint. We can also make transom boards to match! We shape the boards from teak, which we select for the best grain possible. We buy teak and mahogany from Exotic Lumber in Annapolis.
We provide drawings for your review before we make your quarterboards. If you need boards to match the lettering on your transom, just send us a photo, and we can match the original boat name.
We can restore your old boards
If you already have boards that need to be stripped and refinished, we can do that too, as long as they are still in good condition. The owners of Aloha gave us their quarterboards with the old lettering still on them.
First, we stripped the boards and sanded them. Then we prepared the teak and hid the shadow of the old lettering. Next, we applied multiple coats of TotalBoat Lust marine varnish, followed by the gold leaf lettering and outline. Finally, we protected the boards with multiple coats of Awlcraft Clear 3000, and the boards look better than new!
Caring for your quarterboards
This is a detailed photo of our quarterboards with gold leaf lettering, so take a closer look! The Awlcraft finish gives the boards a smooth, glossy surface, and it lasts ten years before it needs to be sanded and recoated. When the time comes, please send us your boards, and we’ll take care of it between seasons. We also recommend that you visit your local canvas shop to have covers made for your boards. Covers protect the finish from sun and weather.
