I don't really have much in the way of suggestions/criticisms, but I think that's a great looking piece of wood.
It looks like you already have the placement/positioning figured out, I'd get a slate tile that fits into the bottom of the tank and bolt the wood to that. It helps keep it submerged, and also makes it more stable/keeps it from shifting (especially if you have critters that root around in the substrate.)
Are you planning on having open topped with the wood sticking out and emmersed plants, or sawing the top off about level with the water?
Also, if you have to cut the wood, burning the cut area with a torch, and scrubbing it with a stiff brush helps a lot to mask the artificial-ness look of the cut, and make it look more weathered.
Keep posting pics, I imagine you're going to have a great looking tank.
