Very interesting grain pattern. At first glance it appeared to be crotch figure. Makes a stunning pen. Well done.

Lots of character in that pair of well turned and finished timbers with nicely matched plating.

Thanks for the comments chaps!
It's from the crotch area Terry. The tree went from single trunk to multi stemmed at one point. This caused a natural bowl which obviously held water, and caused the rot to set in. I only ended up with small blocks from this area by the time I cut the rot away, but they are all similarly marked.
