    Occupation:
    I 1875 står han nevnt som Bødker og Huseier og eget værste.

    En bøkker eller tønnemaker er en håndverker som lager og reparerer tønner, fat og andre runde eller ovale kjørler av breie trestaver som holdes sammen av utvendige band av tre eller metall. Teknikken eller håndverket kalles bøkring. Det likner på lagging som er en egen teknikk for å lage kar og bøtter av staver.

    Bøkkerens produkter var nødvendig emballasje for oppbevaring og transport av varer som vin og sild, og i enhver husholdning fantes flere typer kjørel laget av bøkkere.

    Den norske betegnelsen bøkker ble tidligere skrevet bødker som på dansk. Ordet stammer fra det middelnedertyske bödeker, et ord dannet av bodik som betyr kar. Yrkesbetegnelsen har gitt opphav til slektsnavn som Bødtker i Norge, Bødker, Bødtcher, Bøttger i Danmark og Böttcher i Tyskland.

    Bøkker kan også kalles tønnemaker eller tønnebinder. Bøkker kalles böttcher eller fassbinder på tysk, cooper på engelsk og tunnbindare på svensk.

    Å falle i staver er et uttrykk fra bøkkerfaget. Ei tretønne kan falle i staver, helt bokstavelig talt.

    I Norge var sildetønner det viktigste produkt for bøkkerne, ved siden av tønner til rogn og stamper til line. Store mengder sild skulle hvert år saltes i tønner, det meste for eksport. Bøkkerfaget hadde derfor særlig mange utøvere i enkelte byer på Vestlandet, som Flekkefjord, Haugesund, Bergen, Ålesund og Kristiansund. Faget hadde sine konjunkturer i takt med sildeperiodene. På Østlandet var faget i større grad tilpasset et jevnt behov for kjørel til husholdninger og melkestell.

    Tønner ble også brukt som emballasje for industriprodukter; på Rjukan hadde Norsk Hydro lenge egen fabrikk for å lage tønner til kunstgjødsel.

    Bøkkerfaget var utbredt i Norge fram til 1930, men nye metoder for emballering, samt maskinering av deler av prosessen gjorde at behovet for utøvere sank raskt. Emballasje av plast tok over markedet for bøkkerens produkter; dette skjedde litt etter litt midt på 1900-tallet, ikke bare i Norge, men på global basis. På 1960-tallet ble de fleste fabrikkene i Norge nedlagt, Da hadde plasten overtatt all produksjon av tønner til nedlegging av sild.
