This lightweight kitchen broom was built on a slender quaking aspen sapling, which is nice and straight. The bark has been left natural, only sanded smooth and treated with natural wood wax.
Ready to ship. You will recieve this very broom.
The overall length of the broom is 58". The handle averages approximately 1" in diameter, and the sweep is 10" wide. Aspen is a sturdy, yet very lightweight wood, making this tool easy to grab for quick cleanups in the kitchen or pantry. Stitched flat with three rows of linen twine, and we added a hand-twisted hemp loop for hanging. A great functional sweep that will look great hanging on the hook when not in use!
We have a strong passion for brooms - creating them, learning about them, and using them. Each handmade 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
