Custom Wood Eggs for the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll

Wells Wood Turning & Finishing was pleased to provide the custom wood eggs for the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll.

This year’s custom wood eggs were painted in beautiful spring pastels — pink, blue, green and yellow — which wrapped nicely around a dark gold-colored egg. The pastel eggs were custom pad printed in white ink with an image of the North Portico of the White House on one side, and President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s signatures on the other side. The gold egg featured the Presidential Seal on one side, with the signatures on the other.

The Egg Roll itself took place Monday, April 21, on the South Lawn of the White House. It is a continuing tradition started in 1878 by President Rutherford B Hayes. The event includes an Easter egg hunt, egg roll, storytelling and live musical performances. The commemorative wood eggs are given to children and families as they leave the event. Sets of eggs are also sold by the White House Historical Association. The number of wood eggs given out varies from year to year but typically approaches 100,000.

Manufacture of Custom Wood Easter Eggs

Wells Wood Turning & Finishing has been manufacturing colorful wooden eggs with custom imprints for many years. Our eggs are turned, painted and printed right here at the mill in Buckfield, Maine. Our hardwood is sourced in the Northeastern US. And our employees all come from the local community.

Manufacturing the eggs is a multi-step process that involves turning each piece from yellow birch on a high-capacity lathe. We trim the end to make the eggs stand upright, and sand them in large rotating sanders. We then paint them in large tumblers and apply the impressions with a pad printing machine.

Beyond the White House, our customers include museums, hotels, civic organizations, breweries, shopping centers and specialty advertising companies looking for novel marketing items (e.g. a golden nest egg!). The eggs are used for holiday celebrations, customer appreciation, fund raisers, product launches and general branding. Contact us today to discuss your custom project!
