Man’s Porch Broom
A Man’s Porch Broom has a large full sweep. It is a broom big enough for a man! The Porch Broom is great for sweeping out a garage or cleaning off a deck. It is also big enough to shoo a pesky bear off your back porch! The thicker diameter wooden handles are made from several different species of hard woods. Each handle is unique. I search our wooded areas, fence lines and creek banks for small weed trees, dead-fall or drift wood that is rich in character. I use strong nylon twine to plait the 100% natural broom corn onto the handle. The length of plaiting on each broom varies due to the nature of the broom corn. Natural fibered twine is used to sew the sweep. I use cotton and waxed linen to sew the sweep flat. Generally each broom is sewn 3 times to firmly hold the shape of the broom’s sweep. Man’s Porch Broom – Handle is approximately 2″ diameter. Approximate overall length 58″. Ornate Man’s Porch Broom – Broom handle is more fanciful. Ornate objects may be added to accent broom. A one-of-a-kind wooden handle may contain buck rubs, wrapped vines, burls or imperfections that are accented in the wood. |
