After a little cleaning up and resizing of MrLyon101's photo the pommel looks to be made from wood to me.

Best,

Hey guys you are correct is is wooden. sorry it took a year to answer lol. We believe it to be Bunty (or bunti) wood. Not sure. that is just a guess, knowing that it is Sulu in origin the the tree types in the Philippines.

One can find bunti, narra, etc all over the southern Philippines, and if not available in a particular region (like the high mountains for example) then trade is not too far away.
