I bought a small scoop (oiled) which I will use with my mini
rice cooker. It is made from Sarawak Keranji wood.
The three wood samples below the scoop are from a boxed set of
some 50 Sarawak woods which was presented to me by the Sarawak
Timber Association many years ago.
L-R: Belian, Selangan Batu, and Keranji.
