Traditional Besom Broom
A traditional broom consists of a straight wooden shaft connected to a wide fan of gathered twigs secured near the base. The long handle balances the broad lower section made of natural plant materials.
History of Wooden Besom Brooms
Traditional sweeping tools, often called besoms, were constructed by binding twigs of birch or hazel around a sturdy ash pole. In countryside homes, these handmade implements were essential for clearing dirt from stone floors and hearths. Over time, rustic bundle brooms became famous folklore items associated with nighttime flights and autumn harvest festivities.
