Tine

I just finished 5 days with friends making Scandinavian bent wood boxes. In addition to teaching how to make them, I was able to make some myself, and it helped me to prepare for a weekend class at Marc Adams School of Woodworking on the same subject.

One of the bentwood boxes I made in class as a demonstration is shown above. The Scandinavian bent wood boxes are called tiner in Norwegian. A single box is called a "tine" pronounced tina, which means cheese box, connecting it with its humble origins.

Make, fix and create...
