We were very privileged when, on a visit to Lismore in October last year, we were lucky enough to see your beautiful cabinet. We had seen it on TV, but nothing compares with seeing it “in the flesh”. There cannot be many people in the world with such a passion – and the expertise and stamina to carry it out! I hope your cabinet stays a part of our National Treasure for ever. Thank you

I was priviledged to meet the amazing Geoffrey Hannah and his equally amazing Hannah Cabinet on Monday, 26/07/2010 in the foyer on Level 7 of the “Mother of Parliaments”, the New South Wales State Parliament House.
Together with Terry Gleeson, woodwork teacher and master craftsman and John Evans, one of Terry’s accomplished students, both of whom are fellow members of the Woodworkers Association of New South Wales we were taken on an exhilarating journey of discovery and beauty by a master story teller through the delights of the existance and the creation of the Hannah Cabinet.
It is my belief that, left alone to study this remarkable item of furniture, one would probably never uncover all its secrets and all it has to offer.
I believe too that this work of art should find its home in the nations capital in Canberra’s Parliament House where, like a lesser work of art, Jackson Pollock’s “Blue Poles”, it will appreciate in value and continue to be an immense source of national pride.
Geoffrey Hannah, it was a pleasure to meet you and I offer my thanks to you for the chance to see your wonderful artistry.

I heard Alan Jones interviewing Mr Hannah today. What a wonderful man he is. So usassuming and very Australian. The masterpiece he has created is to behold. I am going to take a trip to Canberra just to see this example of craftsmanship.

Hello There, I listened to Mr hannah on 2BL today. Had to see the wonderful peice he made. He should be classified as a national treasure,not just the beautiful cabinet he has created. Very few people on this planet have such a complex mind and have the ability to convert their thoughts to into reality.
We are truly blessed to be able to veiw something so wonderful.
