Pacific Yew RV or Hearth brooms
« on: January 26, 2012, 08:09:49 AM »
Here's an example coming out of our broom shop in Stanwood.  This one is a Pacific Yew Hearth broom - $45.  This size is also great for stowing in a camper.  We make the brooms using broom corn (sorghum).  The handles are collected from native species, cured, worked and finished.  Yew is one of our favorites, because it is smooth like ivory.  Right now we are making a run of Cascade Cabin Brooms using locally collected maple branch handles. 

If you are interested in any of our brooms, give me a p.m.  We can ship them anywhere!

Thanks!  I forgot to say the hearth brooms are approximately 27" long.  Can't tell in the picture.  :)

Sounds good, quadrafire.  We have lots of different brooms, so check them out on our site.  We just started this company in the fall & sold a lot of brooms over the holidays.  Next year, we'll be geared up for it.  Right now we're looking forward to doing demonstrations at festivals in the spring & summer.

Lots of cool things on your website. Do any with a shed antler?

Good idea!  I have not tried shed antler brooms, but it can be done.  Personally, I like a straight functional branch handle broom, but I've seen shed antler 4-point brooms used for the hearth.  They look cool next to a fire.  If anyone would like to provide their own sheds, I can make them into brooms for $35.  Need at least 8" of space between the antler base and the first tine to tie and weave.  35 is the same price I would charge a blacksmith to make a wrought iron broom, using his handle.  Some of my customers like to collect and work their own handles, then I tie 'em up.   :)
