These two brooms are for hanging in a cabin. The handles are white tail deer antlers. They are a bit longer and thinner so they can reach up and clean the cobwebs from the upper reaches of a cabin. They should definitely not be laid down in a corner as they will take on a permanent bent. I probably only have a couple more brooms and then I'll be ready to move on to forging. Ran into a few issues with the scar tissue, so it took a bit longer than expected.  Spent most of the Fall and early winter gimping around. Finally got so bad that I had it checked and found that the hip was trashed pretty bad. Finally able to get back to doing some odds and ends. Trading some elk and deer antlers for some some brooms. Most of the antlers were pretty bleached from the sun so the antlers were stained using KMnO4 (Potassium permanganate) and then buffed with paste wax. |
