I'm not familiar with Silky Oak, and from Wikipedia it looks like there are several very different woods by that name. You typically want a very dense hardwood such as Paduak for the soundboard. Oak in general would work better for the sides, but I'm not sure the oak I'm familiar with is related to what you have.
If what you have isn't too hard to come by I'd give it a try and see what it sounds like.
