ה' באלול תשס"זMy altar besom. Handcrafted from broom corn grown dedicated to the purpose of constructing besoms. Pine wood handle.
From History Of Early American Brooms:
"The sweeping quality of brooms changed in 1797 when Levi Dickenson, a farmer in Hadley, Massachusetts, made a broom for his wife, using the tassels of a variety of sorghum (Sorghum vulgere), a grain he was growing for the seeds. She thought Levi's broom was exceptionally good and told friends and neighbors about it."
How sweet. Levi made a witchy broom for his wife and changed the entire broom-making industry. She really liked his broom, apparently. LOL.
