Hand Made Sorghum Broom, Thailand

Hand Made Sorghum Broom, Thailand
£35.00
Ex Tax: £29.17
A mid-length broom of a traditional type from a small craft workshop in Thailand. Sorghum is more commonly know as rice straw or even broom corn in the west and refers to a group of grasses used for brush-making throughout much of the world. Undoubtedly similar to the grass used in our Japanese and European brooms this seems finer than either producing a slightly denser but curiously stiffer seeming brush. Measures approximately 101cm by 18cm, by 5cm.

Care Advice

Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little dish soap and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting.
  • Weight g 250g
  • Item Dimensions L101 x W14 x H3
  • Materials Sorghum cereal straw, thread, and wood
