Gold leaf honour boards

This is the champion trainers board at Punchestown racecourse which is made from mahogany and hand lettered in gold leaf.. The advantage of gold leaf over vinyl is that it is clearer to read, due to hue and contrast.

Gold vinyls fall into neutral middle gro

und and tend to have less contrast , affecting legibility , but as you see from the board below do work and are more economical..

The vinyl I use is closer to gold than most vinyls which tend to be greeny bronze or pale mustard..
