				 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.
 
				
				Belian (Eusideroxylon 
				zwageri (Lauraceae): 
				
				Class 1 (>10 years life) Heavy Hardwood with a density of 
				835-1,185 kg/m3 air 
				dry.
 
				
				Selangan Batu (Shorea 
				spp.):
				Class 1 (>10 years life) Heavy Hardwood with a density of 
				850-1,155 kg/m3 air 
				dry.
