Script font - unpainted
Brass is the traditional material for memorial plaques and on small plaques they are normally engraved in a script font with unpainted letters. However we can use other fonts particularly if the plaque is not being used as a memorial plaque. If you do want paint infilled letters please click here. The main disadvantage with brass is that if you want it to stay shiny, it must be constantly polished. Brass cleaning.
Script font - unpainted - on backing board
We have wooden backing boards and tree stakes if required. Backing boards are usually made in Oak. However we do have Sapele (similar to mahogany) and Iroko (similar to teak). If you want a specific timber, please state it on the order form.
