Carl Dohn would have been the sixth generation in a family of German woodworkers in Macon. But instead of taking over Macon Cabinet Works, the family business, he chose to attend medical school. Woodworking is a hobby and Dr. Dohn used his collection of antique hand-tools to shape the top of the conference table, which will be moved to the Sea Island Company after the conference.
