A Broom for Ma

A Broom for Ma will introduce you to the art and beauty of the Appalachian handcraft of broom making. Spend an autumn morning in the mountains with Amos and follow him step by step as he hand makes a new broom for Ma, his wife of 60 years.

Hollow Handcrafts hopes to carry on the Appalachian tradition of broom making. Owner, Curt Cable, hunts for interesting handles in his area of southeastern Ohio. He wraps them on the front porch of his own little log cabin, and he hopes one will suit you “jest fine.”
