Rather than quite nice I would venture 'magnificent'

Yes "magnificent" would be the word. A very fine piece indeed. Fatboy told me to search this out and I am glad he did.
Congratulations on fine work!

BTW the Buckeye tree is the State tree of Ohio.
Some of the burls on the old trees are incredibly large and magnificent in themselves.
