Wood-Burned Kitchen Utensils: Materials
All you need to make wood-burned utensils are bamboo kitchen tools, a wood-burning kit and a pencil.
Plan Your Design
Lightly pencil in your designs on the wooden tools. I like to follow the curves, edges and details of the spoons with simple geometric shapes like stripes and dots.

Burn Your Design
Heat up your wood burner with the rounded tip screwed in. When hot, start burning in your design. The longer you hold the wood burner on one spot, the darker your design will be. You can also go over a design a few times to make it darker.
