Ernest "Mooney" Warther carved steam engines of ebony and ivory that are considered to be the world's finest. The Master Carver produced an eight-foot carving of the Lincoln funeral train. He created the largest ivory carving collection in the world and many of his finest works can be seen at the Warther Museum in Dover, Ohio.

Along with his exquisite carvings visitors can see his wife, Frieda Warther's Button House of 73,000 buttons, Warther's arrowhead collection of 5,000 points, a working knife shop, and one of the finest gift shops in the country, featuring the exclusive Warther cutlery.
