MotoArt urges you to "Own a piece of aviation history," and this desk, made from the cowling of a DC-6, is a pretty awesome place to start. Ruude Leeuw says the Douglas DC-6 was "considered to be the best in her class, in the 1950s. Of course, in those days, only the Upper Class travelled by air. So their means of transport had to have class as well!"

The piece is from a later date than that toward which I normally gravitate, but the lines and the original purpose of it were irresistible to me.
