I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.- Benjamin Franklin

Master Carver Creates Gold-Leaf American Eagle

Paul White is a master wood carver who literally wrote the book on carving the American eagle. (“Carving An American Eagle”) His shop is located in East Sandwich, Massachusetts, across from a cranberry bog.  Inside his shop he creates standard and custom carvings, hand painting and adding gold leaf to create beautiful works of art.

The Chesapeake Eagle, pictured below, can range in size from 4.5 feet up to seven feet across! Isn’t it stunning?!

Learn more about the process for creating an eagle by visiting Paul’s website www.paulwhitewoodcarving.com

Paul uses Old Village Paint for his creations, and we are incredibly honored he includes our paint in his process.

We often hear from people that they love the thickness, coverage and long-lasting quality of Old Village Paints.  Here’s an example:

” . . .  our trim painters, who are highly regarded and coveted in this area stated that it was the nicest paint they had ever worked with, both in quality of coverage and ease of application. Quite a recommendation from people who do nothing but apply various suppliers paint every day.” Chris & Sylvi Wilkin

“My husband (recently retired carpenter) and I have been using your paints for years inside and outside of our home. He swears he’s never come across any paint as “easy going on” as Old Village Paints and we both absolutely LOVE the colors. . .  Our storm doors and front and side doors are painted Wild Bayberry.  Please don’t ever change a thing about the paints you make and sell.  You can’t improve on perfection!” Schroeher Jr

Thank you to our customers for these great reviews.  Your projects are worth high quality paint that will last and last, from American eagles to cribs to antique furniture to barn quilts, Old Village Paint is ready to cover and last “like iron”.
