Step 7BROOM Stick
And now for something completely different.
Go out and hunt for the perfect broom stick. You want it to be about 4 feet long, straight, but with curves in it.
Time for the safety googles.
Break off any side branches, and cut nubs off with a saw, or pruning sheers.
You may need to let it dry for a few days if it's a newly fallen branch.
Using a palm sander, with coarse grit sandpaper, release the magic from the wood. I took off all the nubs first, then worked on where the culled side branches were. I think it looks nice with some of the bark remaining.
Using a dremel tool, I carved a spider into the stick.
Once finished, oil it with some vegetable oil and leave in the sun for an hour. (Solar Charging)
