Looks like a beetle hole, with a surrounding stain. It will be something that happened while the tree was living. Is the texture of the stained area different? Does it feel soft?

Some stains can be improved with oxalic acid, but it is very unlikely to vanish.

Personally? I love it! 

It's a beauty mark! :wub:

I also love how it squiggles. 

It's part of the history of the tree - and now part of the patina, as far as I'm concerned.

I actually love it when wood has unexpected features like this....but I am also not selling instruments, so I suppose one's excitement would vary with the intent for the instrument.  I personally think it'll look fantastic once finished.
