Handcrafted Turkey Wing Broom

This functional form from the frontier draws its name and shape from a turkey's wing. This sweep is created by wire wraps around graduated amounts of broomcorn. Broomcorn stalks plaited over some of the wired area form the handle. It works great for sweeping up wood chips and ash around the hearth while doubling as an appealing decorative accent. The shape is a natural for corners and stairs. Each broom is handmade by Arkansas Artist Gerald Lovenstein.
