Or just the N size.
This is a size N (10 mm) crochet hook turned and carved out of a very light piece of walnut. It is about seven-inches long and features a comfortable engraved (size on front, and year, wood and signature on back) thumbrest and double jingle rings on top.

This is a nicely fanned out Turkey Wing broom bound with strong, durable, yet fine nylon twine. As I approached the top of the broom… the end of the binding. At that point, I switched by way of a secure splice, to a yellow twine which I used to plait (the woven handle) over purple hand-dyed basket reed. Read the rest of this entry »

Going green? This kitchen broom is just the thing. Featuring a smooth standard hardwood handle, hand-dyed green broomcorn, matching hand-dyed green split and trimmed broomcorn stalk plait (the weave at the top of the sweep), and a fancy green over white pattern band of stitching, this is one very functional, very artistic broom. Great for work or decoration.

This Turkey Wing broom, made from hand-dyed broomcorn is bound with wire and has a graceful forward flip. The handle is plaited (or braided) with twine over natural and hand-dyed, split and trimmed, broomcorn stalk. Because of the method used to tie this broom, no stitching is necessary.

The Perfesser
I wear spectacles and I work with wire. Two seemingly unrelated items, yet…
This hearth broom measures about 28″ and has a natural sassafras handle that’s been carved with a fun “man of the woods” face. In this case, it might be “man of the local university” instead. I made the spectacles first by carefully bending the wire around a mandrel leaving two ends over the nose-piece protruding to act as staples. Then I carved the face and affixed the specs with the staples. The sweep contains more than 10 ounces of broomcorn with a bit of hand-dyed brown broomcorn on top for an accent.

See what I mean?
I admit it. I am a geek. I’m a nerd. I like computers and watch sci-fi (loved the new Star Trek movie, but love Serenity more, and haven’t seen Avatar yet, but I will…). When I finished the end of this crochet hook I was reminded of a scene from a sci-fi flick wherein a double star was throwing off matter to create a planet. A binary star. A binary crochet hook made by a woodworking, broom making, computer using web-designing geek… made out of wood, made by hand.
Your daily dose of irony?

Triple Plaited
This one of a kind broom starts with a one of a kind vine-twisted red oak sapling for the handle. More than a pound of broomcorn – including some hand dyed red for accent – is tightly bound to the handle. A beautiful triple plait is then applied and three rows of hand stitching. This is truly a functional piece of art! Read the rest of this entry »
