The Warther family of Dover, Ohio has been a family of artisans working in and supplying exotic natural materials since 1902 when Ernest Warther began a family business of knife making and carving.

Ernest's son, David Warther Sr., entered the family business after getting out of the service after World War II. In the 1970's, David's son, David Warther II began making various parts that eventually led him into the musical instrument parts business. 

In the early 1990's David began making violin bow parts and selling them directly to bow makers as well as through Bowworks™.
