Silkscreen is not a woodworking term.
Its a painting process using a fine detail stencil to put graphics or text on media.

Jordan,
after you make your plaque, sand it and apply a glossy (or satin) finish you will be able to screen print (no silk used nowadays) a design onto it. Do a search on screen printing on this BB as It has been covered somewhat in the past.
