When most folks think of Tybee Island, they think of its old historic lighthouse. The thing that I enjoy most, however, is the old fort. The museum there has some of the most unusual seafaring artifacts that can be found in the United States today. As I was meandering through the halls, looking into the 18th century version of the ‘war room’, I was noticing a general’s map stand. It was taller than the usual table and had the most beautiful legs stemming from its slanted top. It seemed almost out of place-almost like it had been brought from an office in downtown Savannah. I began to wonder what this might have actually started life as. As I stared at the marvelous piece, I deduced that the table was, perhaps, the draftsman’s table of a wealthy plantation owner. The Tybee Island leg is Osborne Wood Products reproduction of that leg.
