We call this our lodge broom. It's bigger than our cabin broom, but smaller than our full-sized besom. #brooms #broomcorn #handtied #handcrafted #handdyed #handwoven #handstitched #handmade #besom #arstateparks #ozarkfolkcenterstatepark #mountainviewarkansas #authenticarkansas #havencroftfarm #findusonetsy (at Havencroft Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/B95VZ10DBJq/?igshid=vc6xclaef6vn

Wrapping up my little expose here on our trip to Devil's Den State Park, thought I'd close with this shot of the folks on Yellow Rock Bluff. When I moved to Northwest Arkansas from Colorado, I thought I was going to trade in my hiking boots for a pair of Durangos. I soon discovered I was dead wrong and there's plenty of killer hiking and outdoor adventures to be had here in the Ozarks. I inspired the folks to start camping and hiking with me. They quickly went from a camper on the back of their Ford to buying a cabin in Parthenon in gorgeous Newton County real close to the upper section of the Buffalo National River. I have found a rugged, wild oasis here. And, I should confess, I went ahead and got me a pair of Durangos. @arkansasstateparks #devilsdenstatepark #arstateparks #arkansasstateparks #arkansas #ozarks (at Devil's Den State Park)

The number one rule for properly caring for a broom is to always hang it up when not in use. All of our brooms have loops of leather (or twine in the case of some smaller hand brooms and brushes) threaded through the handle. Today I'm using an antique egg beater drill to make the hole for said loop. #brooms #broommaking #hangupyourbroom #ozarkfolkcenterstatepark #arstateparks #havencroftfarm (at Ozark Folk Center Craft Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ4TK-jRHt/?igshid=6036vle8zoqc

Making new tying tables for the students in my upcoming broom making class. The process generates a lot of sawdust. If only I knew somebody with a broom... #broommaking #woodworking #ozarkfolkcenterstatepark #ozarkfolkschool #arstateparks #havencroftfarm #findusonetsy (at Ozark Folk Center Craft Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9clH5SDVgn/?igshid=u9w1xgu5w345

There was a cancellation, so I have ONE slot open in my broom making class. The class is held from March 16 through March 20 at the Ozark Folk Center State Park in Mountain View, AR. We'll be talking about the history and business aspects of broom making while I teach around 11 styles of brooms.
