Cassette Tape table from Skierka designs

I love this table from Jeff Skierka designs.   Its a beautiful piece made from maple and walnut.   Even though the inside is somewhat hollow, at 5 inches thick, this table has to weigh a fair bit.

Description from his site:
This coffee table is a 12:1 scaled replica of a cassette tape. It is made of reclaimed maple, walnut and lucite. Dimensions are 47.25" x 30" x 5" with a 3/8" plexi top. This is a first prototype and one of a kind table. Future versions will be CNC machined out of high grade plywood with a variety of ply combinations and a glass top. This table has been an obsession of mine for 5 years! It is amazing to finally have it come to fruition. The table is completely reversible (sides A and B).  We are working to get this into production soon. Both plywood and handmade hardwood versions will be available.

Street Art in Bundoran, Co. Donegal, Ireland

I was pleasantly surprised to spot a number of pieces of street art in the seaside down of Bundoran in Co. Donegal, Ireland.   Talking to local people, it seems that they only recently appeared and it's not known whether they're genuine Banksy, Dolk and Meek pieces, but people were positive about their appearance.  

While my favorite is the flower riot, I do love the Fidel Castro wearing the Che Guevara shirt and the little girl writing graffiti.  

Get larger versions and other shots over at my flickr page.
