How i evened a broom did?

So you want a broom? You want to have a broom of your very own. You want a wand. You want something to hold and cherish that is also made of wood.

That's a challenge for most people to obtain. Not you. You have the ability to grab something completely useless that is also a large branch of a tree and then make it into a wonderful broom of your very own. It could also be a wand. Does anyone really know what a stick is going to turn out to be?

I do. I know a lot of things, and a lot of what i know is completely useless to you, excepting the little bit of broomery and wandazzling I'm about to lay down.

So you've taken a walk out in your back yard and noticed a tree has fallen over. From that tree you decide to grab a nice five foot long branch. It's a nice nice nice branch. You notice that it's about two inches in diameter and also it just so happens to be maple. That's one fine branch you think to yourself, what will I ever do with it?

The answer is: "I'mma go home make broom and den mebbe i also have a pasta". Good Job, you've taken the first step to becoming a legend.

Now you take your broom home and the irking feeling that you haven't done something sets in. You try to set the feeling aside, but as you run your hand down the shaft of the broom, you can't completely stifle the feeling. There's something wrong with this broom and you know it. There's work to be done and you're going to do it.

Carefully examine the broom. Notice how it has all sorts of branches and bark covering the wood? Not all of that is necessary for the broom to have. A lot of it will just hinder or harm whatever you've set out to do.

Set about removing all of the errant branches from the shaft of the broom.

Once you've finished with that, the broom should be devoid of anything that would make it look more deadly that it needs to.

Now, grab your carving blade that you always keep on the edge of your fully stocked work area a bit too close to the actual edge in that it routinely falls blade down onto the floor, and start stripping the top layer of bark in a very precise pattern of your choosing.

This pleases the broom and makes it look right about ready to head to prom. Lock your doors, this handsome stick isn't going anywhere.

As you continue the material removal, leave a good five inch space near one end of the broom. This is where the hat goes. The hat is in reality a ceremonial head dress used by ancient broom shamans to call the power of mr. clean unto their brethren.

That spirit is long dead, you don't need to fear.

After you've prepared your broom for the hat fitting, you'll need to procure some sorghum. Sorghum is a strong plant that has an even stronger root system. It was planted in times of drought to keep the dirt from blowing away with the wind. Sorghum saved America. It is also a stylish hat, for your broom.

Separate your lump of sorghum into long strands, and short strands. take 10 - 15 long strands and prepare to hat your broom.

With a sturdy piece of string, tie the long strands tightly around the bald head of the broom. This will make happy the broom in ways unimaginable. When you've finished hatting the broom with long strands, use short strands to hat around the long strands covering them completely. Tie them off tightly, and weave a string under each strand in a tight spiral to keep them steady.

Congratulation you've hatted your broom and made it snazzy to boot. Now glaze it and leave it to dry. You're done, get off my lawn.
