Spectacular grain

I was given this by an elderly friend of my Mum's who had to clear a number of trees as part of the sale condition on her house. It was growing in Croydon.

 

There's a little bit of spalting, but the colours are real. This is the short bit - about 4ft. I've got the 8ft length of it to do yet.

 

Anyone care to guess the species?

I'll post the answer up at 10pm, but it's none of the above.

 

Hints:

 

It's not native, but it's been grown in Britain for at least 400yrs.

This is the top bit and it's still about 10in across - the base is about a foot across.

Note the really bright pink streaks - these are not spalting, they're the natural colour.
