Live in the Livsreise Auditorium Behold the tine – a uniquely designed box with Viking origins. They are drab or boldly decorated. Carvers transform them from a chunk of wood to exquisite masterpieces. Families cherish them as a connection to ancestors who paved a path for them. We give honor to our mentors who showed us how to craft them.

Author Jerry Rud was born in western Minnesota to Norwegian-American parents who lived on a farm in a largely Norwegian community where he attended a one-room school. He now lives in Indiana and once retired from his full-time job, has been researching timer, the bentwood box used across Scandinavia. His research has led him to the publishing of a new book on the subject . He will be sharing tiner from his personal collection as well as many photos from his book. Please join us for this fascinating presentation! This is a live presentation in the Auditorium
