It seems kemuning (Murraya paniculata) for me, a curly kemuning. Aging along the time, very well specimen. Kemuning is one of famous wood for hilt/handle from Sumatra to Lombok also for people in southern part of Sulawesi.

Thank you very much for the identification!

I was thinking of kemuning but am not fully convinced - for this timber, it would be very strong and regular chatoyance even in burl...
