Made this for a family in Western Australia who's daughter has just graduated as a Dr of Science,she graduated yesterday & was presented this by her family.The timber is Australian Silky Oak & is finished with  boiled linseed oil & is about 14'' long.

Very, very nice work Peter. The young lady will be delighted with it. You are lucky to have such beautiful timbers to choose from, the silky oak is lovely.

Very nice work, like like the choice of the silky oak. Is that the same wood that we in the US call lacewood.

No It is not closely related to the true oaks but is the largest of the grevillea family & is native of eastern coastal Australia & has golden -orange bottlebrush like Blooms

Peter, it's a beautiful desk plaque, the wood you used is perfect for a piece like this one. I do see where you made a small error and nobody has mentioned yet, so I won't either.
