Wooden utensils are mostly for use with teflon pots and pans, or other non scratch-able pots and pans. They don't scratch and damage the surface.
I don't serve with them unless I'm scooping right out of the pot. I just got used to cooking with them ages ago.
Plastic was developed for the same reason you use wood. So you don't destroy your good cookware. But plastic has done some damage over time when I used them.
As the wood gets older it will get tighter and vary in coloring. I have some that are over 20 years old and I just can't get rid of them!
When you purchase wood utensils, buy good ones! You want quality smooth wood with no splintery areas. You CAN sandpaper them down if you must have that one item but why do the work someone else should have done?
