Crazy grain patterns

[DSWalker]

This is from a very old piece of white oak that was on the farm when I bought the place 12 years ago. Im making a small tabletop out of it. Wish there was more of this grain, but we'll appreciate what we have. I assume this was from the beginning of a crotch in the tree.

It does appear to have some "Fethering" on that crotch line. There is some beautiful Red Oak burl in this state when it can be found.
