Heritage Coffee

It was not that long ago that I was traveling in Pennsylvania. I was staying at the Gettysburg Inn, an old establishment just across the street from Gettysburg National Cemetery. There it was, out on the front porch, of all places. It was being used to hold a beautifully billowing fern. The criss-crossed stretchers were obviously hand cut to provide the slots for the diagonal stretchers in the middle. This table was now in its second lifetime, having once been the workhorse for holding the steins and mugs of great warriors who had been there in "the day." Abraham Lincoln had stayed at the inn, and might just have been one of those who had left a tell-tale ring on the table's surface. The sturdy - yet somehow still dainty - legs just had to be reproduced. Today, they are featured prominently as our Heritage Coffee Table Leg.
