Built on a nice, thick western hazel branch with a jumbo broomcorn sweep. This broomstick has stunning mottled bark that is smooth to the touch and so colorful.
Ready to ship. You will receive this very besom.
This huge hazel besom has an overall length of approximately 65". The handle diameter is about 1 1/8" on average. We have built an extra large sweep for this besom, with very long bristles and a thickness of about 6" diameter at the bristle end. The bark is sanded very smooth and treated with food grade wood wax. We have added and hand twisted hemp loop for hanging the besom.
This unique besom will make a lovely appearance inside the home, and work very well for sweeping large open floor areas.
We have a strong passion for brooms - creating them, learning about them, and using them. Each broom we offer is built by hand using 1800's methods borrowed from the Shakers. In our small workshop in the Pacific Northwest, we weave them one at a time. Every broom is unique, and designed to last for many years. Our ambition is to offer brooms of the finest craftsmanship -- and give each one our personal guarantee of quality.
Our best wishes.
Kevin & Sarah
