the turkey wing hand broom

Cynthia Main left her job running a salvage building materials wood shop at the ReBuilding Exchange in Chicago Illinois in 2013 to spend a year at Tillers International: a traditional rural skills school near Kalamazoo, Michigan. There, she was able to dive into more traditional woodworking and blacksmithing. Together with Doug Stubbs, she created Sunhouse Craft. Broom-making may have claimed her, she says, and allowing that to happen feels to her like a reclamation of sorts.

With a classic Appalachian style weave, this turkey wing hand broom is perfect for general sweeping needs. Hand woven from broom corn, a variety of Sorghum, and a natural dyed organic cotton cord with a handwoven natural dyed organic linen hanging strap. It is made using traditional techniques and non-electric processing in the Sunhouse Craft studio in Berea, Kentucky. The turkey wing is great for hearth and floor. These classic brushes look good in both modern and rustic settings. Expect some variation in appearance as this is a naturally dyed product. This turkey wing measures 38 x 30.5 x 3.8 cm.
