Welcome to Warther Woodworking: Where Tradition Meets Craftsmanship

Music Box Bells

Music Box Bells

Warther’s Musical School Bells, are hand-crafted in North East Ohio using locally sourced Cherry wood. Each bell starts as a nondescript block of wood, then hand turned on the lathe to create the unique “School House Bell” shape. The bell is then hollowed out to allow space for the working, wind- up music box. The music box plays the iconic 1907 song “School Days”, or you can choose from over 30 songs to make your Music Box Bell a gift that’s worth giving!

There are different ways to say “thank you for your years of dedication and service”. Choose from one of 4 designs:

Handbells

Handbells originated as a way for Church Bell ringers to practice their bell ringing, and chime changing in a more convenient place than inside a cold bell tower. Our bells are now made of cherry wood, and resemble the traditional look of the english handbell. Our handbells are created here in Northeast Ohio and made out of locally sourced cherry wood. Handbells are 8” tall, including their handle that is made of genuine leather. Every Handbell has a music box installed that plays the song Amazing Grace. Handbells can be engraved with a personalized message or scripture of your choice.
