I can't stress you enough to pass by the MotoArt website, yet more furniture based upon aircraft parts; I do want such a desk! (and a seat, as well...)
Don't miss their 2008 catalog (PDF format)... Nor their photo gallery, where you'll see step by step pictures of the realisation of each of their masterpieces, from it's removal from the original aircraft to its delivery at customer's place!
I dunno for you, but I know what I'll ask Santa Claus for next December... Well, if he wins the lottery by then.
Yet another link to a great site... Plan59.com, "the museum of mid-century illustration" : hell of a program!
The most difficult part have been to choose 2 of those vintage illustration to make this article, there's so many great pictures!
Here's a short selection :

So, a bunch of 40's-70's US adverts-like vintage pictures... Pure gold mine to me!
I don't know for you, but I directly go back to this site... Enjoy!
Just this once won't hurt, I'm doing some promotion for a friend's website...
He's a graphist, and has just released his brand new website a few days ago... And not only its Flash interface is friendly, original and well-thought, but furthermore the actual content is awesome.
Plus, this guy has a Vespa, so it's at least 3 reasons for you to click by his site!
You know how much I'm fond of techy parts, especially those with an aeronautic origin... Furthermore if it's Vintage...
Precisely, I've found on the Net the site from InterFlight Studio, which produces some real state-of-the-art furniture... Expensive as Hell, you guessed it, but there here real good ideas to keep in mind. Well, anyway, if a rich ShamWerks reader wanted to offer me a present, the green desk above, made of a B-25 rear elevator, would fit perfectly my home...
In the same area of concern, you may want to do a regular stop on the Comptoir de l'Aviation, there's pretty often some really nice aeronautic parts...
