Brass takes lots of heat to melt. You might try just tapping and forming it with a hammer and anvil.
good luck,

bassfighter1 ,

look at this : http://www.prochima.com/eng/product.asp?id=14

You could make a mold of your spoon and then use it as building/construction material.

Approximate Melting point of lead - 621 deg. F.
Copper - 1981
tin - 450
zinc - 787
Bismuth - 520
Brass - 1675 deg. F.

As Larry was saying, melting scrap brass is probably not the best way to do it.
I think my bucket list has a hole in the bottom!
