This cabinet was designed by George Jack and made by Jack and Lawrence Turner. The cabinet is made of light oak with carved panel depicting shepherd, dog, sheep and lambs in a wattle pen. A drawing for the central part of the carved panel showing the ewe and ram is in the collection (A522). There are a few very minor differences between the drawing and the finished design of the carving. George Jack commented about the shape of the panel “It was begun without any premeditated intention as to use, the sloping end being the shape of the board as it came into the author’s hands, the other end being sloped off to match it.” (Wood-Carving Design and Workmanship by George Jack,1903)
