Day 3: Windy Chien

December 3, 2015
12 Days of Christmas,2015

From the moment I first laid eyes on Windy Chien‘s hand-carved wooden spoons, I fell in love. They were like no other kitchen tool I had ever seen. Without question, each spoon is exquisite. However, it’s their functionality that seals the deal. Each walnut spoon is carved to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. And the pointed design lends itself perfectly for scraping flat surfaces, like all those yummy brown bits at the bottom of the pan. That’s not all – this medium corner spoon also holds a level tablespoon! That’s right, she thought of everything. To enter to win Windy’s spoon, all you have to do is leave a comment on the post below AND follow Windy on Instagram, where you’ll also find information about her popular spoon carving classes, as well her stunning modern macrame lamps. A winner will be randomly selected on December 5. *Limited to U.S. and Canada residents only. 

**** CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. The winner is Bet D! Thanks for participating!!****

not sure if this is over yet, but i love the spoon! and i’m following her under kailove07 on instagram

Wow! Brilliant and beautiful. These would be great for every day cooking and impressive enough to move from kitchen to table.

I would love to win these. As a single girl, with a new apartment, I’m trying to build my kitchen accessories collection on a budget. Not only would I be forever grateful to win, but I think I would also use these when hosting and cooking for my loved ones! I love your site!

This is amazing, love the idea of rethinking something as simple as the spoon.

It’s clear that so much thought went in to the design! love the pointy end

It’s clear that so much thought went in to the design! love the pointy end and the fact that it measures out a tablespoon

Functional and beautiful. I followed her on instagram, they are all amazing.

Thanks for the introduction to the inspiring craftswoman Windy Chien! In addition to her beautiful spoons, I love her brass knuckles… holy shit.

Lovely and functional! A perfect combo for any kitchen.
I must say that you have wonderful taste in kitchen tools.
I can understand why one must have a beautiful spoon,such as this,in one’s collection.
Again I am so grateful for such an opportunity!

I love beautiful and unique kitcheny things! This spoon is so lovely!

These pieces are a work of art. So beautifully made. Followed Windy on IG also @marnie470.

What a lovely spoon! I would love it if all of my kitchen tools could be this lovely.

I love the pointed edge to grab all the toasty burnt bits from pans!

Finally!!! A way to get all that goodness out of the pan without dirtying all the utensils

Wow- i can’t believe someone finally did this, such a great idea!

OBSESSED!!!! Beautiful, functional design. Just fell hard for this one.

I have taken a wooden spoon making class with Windy and it was amazing! Love love love her work!

I collect wooden spoons from every new place I travel to! And I’ve never seen one like this – so practical! This would absolutely make a stand in my collection!

One of my pet peeves is when people put wooden spoons/utensils in the dishwasher. These are works of art and should be handled as such. Gorgeous!

A well-made wooden spoon is the most beautiful and functional kitchen tool period. I still use my grandmother’s every day.

That is one hell of a spoon, great job Windy! I’d love to have it in my kitchen.

Exquisite! There’s nothing like using a wooden spoon in the kitchen.

I’ve always wondered why some wooden spoons have one corner, guess you can tell that I’m not the cook in my family!

Ah…lets see…what would be the first thing I’d use it for?

Loved taking Windy’s spoon carving class and I love her spoons!!

To think of all the leftover bits at the bottom of the pan I’ve been missing out on…

Oh my…this spoon literally made me gasp. It is a gorgeous piece of functional art for sure. Would love to get my stir on with it.

Quite possibly the most gorgeous spoon I’ve ever seen! I’m following on IG.

Followed on Instagram (aboragno.smith)! These spoons are beautiful! I’ve been needing a wooden spoon

Genius design… needs a home in my kitchen. Absolutely beautiful!

Art & function..reminds me of Danish cutlery from the mid-century
Beautiful!

What a beautiful and practical design. I would love one of these in the kitchen!

The quote from Remodelista on Wendy’s website perfectly suits her work, “each piece is slyly funny as well as beautiful…”!

Beautiful and functional! I’d love one of these for my kitchen!

So beautiful and so practical!! What is better than that.

Yes! I’m signed up for Windy’s emails but didn’t follow her on instragram. I’d love to have her spoon in my kitchen.

I have a special love for handmade objects that are both strikingly beautiful and highly functional. This is awesome!

I never knew you could make kitchen utensils out of walnut!

These are beautiful. I have a thing for natural/wood ! I am also now following her on Instagram!

These are stunningly beautiful as well as practical. Just lovely.

Love wooden spoons and such!! you can clean them with the purple scotchbrite when they get fuzzy.
