Close up of Silver Oak.  Never done one of these before and seemed a bit odd drawing this tree.  I'm happy with the result, but still think that it is an odd looking badge.


Recipient has a Viking persona so I chose to do the scroll in Runes.  I wasn't at the presenting so I hope that idea was OK with him.  

Painted the border with gouache paint
