How many of you have ever made or used a birch broom? I was reading Robin Wood's blog a little bit ago and found this video of a broom maker in Canada.
This is the blurb that comes with the video on YouTube:
Mr. Joshua Young demonstrating how to “run” a birch broom, in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, September 2015. Mr Young grew up in Grey River on the South-West Coast of Newfoundland near Burgeo. Mr. Young learned how to make birch brooms from his family members and continues to teach his grandchildren how to make the brooms today.
I love craft. I've got to go and find some birch and try this.
