Casting bells in bronze offers many advantages. The metal is durable and is highly resistant to corrosion. A wide range of forms and sizes is possible, and, most importantly, the bells ring with a strong, pure tone that is unique to bronze
All U.S. Bells and hardware are cast bronze and are intended for outdoor use. They will not rust, but after several months they will acquire an antique patina. Areas that were originally polished bright can be restored if desired with brass polish. Brass wood screws are included with all mounting brackets and coat hooks.
The mahogany wood used on the wind bells has been treated with linseed oil. Occasionally renewing this oil will help to retain the color of the wood. This wood weathers very well, however, and will simply turn gray if left alone.
