Pyrography Wooden Spoon, Yin Yang Spoon Dark, One of a Kind, Hand-Burned, Handmade England
$56.63
A yin yang sits at the back of the bowl, one half burned almost black, the other left as bare beech. Overlaying it are two spirals, one light and one dark, curling down towards the handle.
The back of the bowl is shaded a warm mid-brown, so Dani has three tones to play with: bare wood, mid-brown and near-black. From the neck down, the three twist together into a braid that wraps the handle all the way to the tip. This one swaps the usual vines and flowers for clean bands of colour, which is harder than it looks. Every edge has to stay sharp and every band the same width, or the twist falls apart.
It’s all pyrography, burned into beech with a heat pen, one band at a time. And it’s hard to think of a better symbol for a spoon whose whole job is mixing things together.
Wood is the traditional gift for a fifth wedding anniversary, so if you’ve got five years coming up, this could be just the thing. The idea behind it is that by five years a marriage has put down roots and grown strong, a bit like the tree this spoon started out as. I burn every design in by hand, one line at a time, so no two are ever quite the same. And unlike flowers, it won’t be in the bin by next week.
It holds its own next to anything: a spiritual kitchen aesthetic, a farmhouse worktop, a shelf of ceramics and odd beautiful things. It also stirs soup perfectly well, which feels like a bonus at this point.
Hand made in Dani's studio in Hampshire. Sold as the single, unrepeatable object it is.
As each spoon is hand made, there is exactly one of these in the world, each spoon is special and unique, even if the Dinni Doll pattern is the same. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Care Instructions
These spoons have been coated in several layers of (organic food-safe oil) and to keep it as perfect as possible, you may want to repeat this process if the wood starts looking dry. (The same way as recommended to keep wooden chopping boards in the best condition.)
Please wash your spoon in soapy warm water by hand, but do not allow it to soak for a long time as this could warp the wood. We also recommend not keeping the spoon resting in a hot pot or pan whilst cooking as this could darken the wood on the end which could affect the look of the design.
Happy Cooking!
About The Artist
Dani works from a studio in Hampshire, across pyrography, oil painting, sculpture, textiles, and digital art. The common thread isn't a style or a material, it's a way of thinking. She starts with what she wants to say and works backwards to figure out what it should be made from. That approach keeps the work from ever sitting still, and it's why something like this spoon ends up feeling like a complete idea rather than a decorated object.

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order or order customisation, for example), if you contact me directly.

as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;

if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction.
