Quarterboards
Kukstis Woodcarving’s specialty, Quarterboards are inspired by sailing ships from New England’s rich maritime history and are frequently found along the coast of New England. Hand-carved boards salvaged from historic sailing ships are highly prized and cherished antiques. The idea of gracing your home with a beautiful gilded board emblazoned with your family name evolved from this tradition, resulting in the Quarterboards of today. Cape Cod custom has dictated for hundreds of years that signs salvaged from ships be placed on the front of a barn with the ships’ figureheads placed over the door.
With a sign from Kukstis Woodcarving, you too can honor this New England tradition. Paul crafts these Quarterboards in various sizes, colors, and styles to suit your exact desires and specifications. He personally hand carves and signs each Quarterboard from the finest quality woods, using premium oil paints, and, when gilded, the finest Italian gold leaf. Following is a small sample of his portfolio. Would you like to follow the tradition? Request a quote, share your thoughts and ideas and Paul will promptly respond.
