GOLD  LEAF on BOATS
page  1

Gold leaf lettering on boats has a long tradition. This page shows gold letters on wooden boats. Most of these boats have varnished transoms. If the boat is cared for and the varnish recoated regularly, the gold will last for many years. On ELYSIUM the gold has been given a texture to make it reflect the sunlight better. The photo below shows me with a pad of velvet in a drill, adding the spins to the gold. The velvet scratches the gold lightly. This technique is called engine turning or coining.
