Its far too open grained to be sandlewood.

Historically Oman has imported good quality timber from India & I would guess Africa as well, so may not necessarily be local. {After all none of the rhino horn or ivory is/was either.}

Salaams Spiral...Ya I dont disagree with any of that so I'm looking at local timber but as you say maybe its from outside ... Anyway it's wood.
