This stunning "Tree of Life" Bell by Silvio J. Modena Jr.  (I MAKE BELLS CO.) was crafted from a recycled steel air cylinder, once used as a FireFighter's oxygen tank (SCBA).    

This particular bell was custom crafted for the Rotary MAGIC OF THE COASTSIDE event.

Using welding techniques and a big hammer, the bell and hangar are crafted from reclaimed materials!

Enjoy the wonderful melodic sound tones that emanate from this magnificent bell! (Tone is always perfect!)

About the Artist: Silvio J. Modena Jr. 

Silvio learned to weld at a young age while working on the family farm. After the Navy, he worked as a boilermaker in the shipyards. One day, while tapping on a cylinder, the tone struck a chord with him. The seed of his future career was born.

Silvio gets his inspiration from his surroundings and his clients 

Silvio gets inspiration from his surroundings. His fabrication shop overlooks the bluffs of the California coast, so you will see many nautical creations. When not crafting bells he is out enjoying nature to further enhance his artistic idea bank. 

I Make Bells now has many bells in stock at the shop in Half Moon Bay California.
