A broom winder, from an original machine in the 1800s is used to apply the broomcorn to the stick. Then a post Civil War era boom vice sews the broomcorn. From the vice, the brooms go to the "Kick Winder" where plaiting the broom stalks is done. Once the broom is finished, it goes to the "cropper", another 1800s tool, to be trimmed to the desired shape, whether rounded, straight, or angled. Your unique broom will be approximately 36 to 40 inches (91 to 101 cm). Your broom is made with natural wood branches, and crafted individually so will vary slightly from photo. Some brooms may be straight, some may be curvy/crooked.
Traditionally brooms and besoms have been used for:
- Sweeping evil and negativity from your path
- Preparing your space for ritual
- Hand-fasting/Wedding Gift
- House Warming Gift
- Protection from Bad Luck
- "Jump the Broom" for wedding/hand fasting
Warning: Prolonged exposure to sunlight may fade the broomcorn over time.
