The only thing "different" in mine is that some of them I have done decoupage on instead of painting. I usually use oak because is bends so much better than most any other wood. I also use copper tacks , pounded into rivets instead of stitching.Hegner Polymax- 3,Hegner Multimax-3,

Ho lee cow.......you two guys make some "bee u tee full" projects. The only tines I've ever heard of before are on a fork.....what an educational site this is, always learning something new.
Thank you for sharing with us. Dave or Jim maybe Fox Chapel would be interested in your designs for a magazine project.......sure would be fun to learn from the masters. Just sayin'Last edited by Wood Dog; 04-24-2012, 10:10 AM.Gloria ............... Two memorable things to say in life, "Hello" for the first time, and "Good-bye" for the last.

Jim,
Thank you for sharing the photos of your tiner. You are very skilled.
I have bent oak a few times, but prefer maple, cherry and birch. The hardest wood I have bent is hickory. Tried purple heart, would not bend.
I use copper tacks in tine’ I am making for rosemal and decorative painters that do not want to paint over lacing. This was the way the Shakers secured the sides of their bentwood boxes.
I have the instructions for lacing that I hand out when I teach tine’ making. Will post it here if you like.
I get a lot of favorable comments on the way lacing looks on a box. I even taught some local gourd carvers how to do it. I now see a few gourds with lacing added to their design.
Spence & Wood Dog,
I would post the basics of tine’ making in this thread if you want to learn. What I miss I am sure Jim Finn can fill in.
J. Anderson is, without a drought, the best tine’ maker in the country. Take a look at his web site, Norwegian Tine, Scandinavian bentwood boxes and carriers - J. Anderson WoodWorks - Wood . He enters his work in fin art shows.
Jim told you how pronounce tine’, like the girls name Tina. Tine’ means box, so “tine’ box” would be like saying “box box“. The plural for tine’ is tiner.
I am no artist, but have been fortunate to find very talented people to paint my tine’, the photos are to show what a painter can do. I decorate a box with type of wood choice and wood grain.
Jim Finn and I practice a very old Nordic craft and are always pleased when someone shows an interest.
Thank you,
DaveLast edited by Harmony; 04-24-2012, 10:45 PM.

When I toured Norway,Sweeden and Denmark in 1984 I saw my first tine. We were told that the people there, long ago lived in log houses and many things they had were made of wood . When they wanted to make something look fancy they would cover up the wood grain with paint and then decorate over that with stylized flowers. I am no artist so I applied decoupage to mine or had someone else paint them for me. We, now-a-days, like to see the wood grain in objects of art but they considered that too plain. I enjoyed making tiner but found a very limited market for them, at any price, so I have not made any in years.Hegner Polymax- 3,Hegner Multimax-3,

Reply to I decided I needed a challengeby handibunnyBack in my days of collecting antique pottery, I used to carry a a small blacklight unit to check for repairs that were invisible to the naked eye. I never knew that it could detect glue spots. That's a lot neater than using mineral spirits, or waiting until a sealer coat of shellac reveals missed...
