With all of the varnishing done on the Peterborough Lake Queen, it is time to paint the name on. Jake & Kay are the names of the original owners, so that is the name. I took quite a bit of time to find a font and size that were fitting to the era of the canoe and the spirit of the restoration.
Step one is to print the text out full size and then tape it in place.

Step two is to use carbon paper behind the artwork and then trace out the lettering.

Step three is to use a nice sign painter's gold paint and fill in the lines.
