Maud Baillie hand crafted furniture on a remote SA Island, 120 years ago with nothing but a pocket knife

In the early 19th century, on a remote island off South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula, Maud Baillie taught herself to carve furniture with nothing more than a pocketknife in hand. She used pegs instead of nails and screws to hold the furniture together and sourced wood washed ashore from nearby shipwrecks. More than 100 years later, one of her exquisite hand-crafted wooden cabinets is being displayed the public for the first time at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
