John Mason
Biography
John Mason was born in Maryborough where he served his apprenticeship in cabinet-making with Popp Bros. In 1907-29 he taught cabinet-making at the Maryborough Technical College, while continuing to work part-time for the Popp firm. His most spectacular pieces of furniture were made in his spare time for his own family, using local timbers in inlay patterns of his own design, sometimes incorporating local images. Mason's work was acclaimed in the early 20th century when shown in agricultural exhibitions in Queensland. He received a silver medal in Brisbane's Jubilee Exhibition of 1909.
