A small but sturdy hearth tool rooted in tradition. This turkey wing whisk is hand-bound using traditional Appalachian techniques and shaped for everyday use around the home. Once kept close to the fire, these whisks were used to sweep hearth stones, clear ash, and dust off work benches.
Available in black, navy, blackberry, and charcoal gray, each whisk is made for utility first. Simple, durable, and ready to be used.
Care & Use
Use to sweep hearths, wood stoves, altars, or small spaces. Shake out dirt and debris after use. Store hanging or resting bristle-side down to maintain shape. Keep dry when not in use. With regular use, the broomcorn will soften and wear naturally, becoming more responsive over time, just as a good working tool should.

A simple, traditional hand tool made for everyday work. This flat whisk is sewn and shaped to lie broad and even, allowing it to move smoothly across stone, brick, and hard surfaces where dirt and dust settle.

Care & Use
Use to sweep hearths, stove fronts, stone, brick, and other hard surfaces. Also good for countertops, windowsills, car mats, etc. Shake out debris after use. Always hang by the leather hanging loop when not in use. Never store bristle-side down, as this can bend and weaken the broomcorn over time. Keep dry between uses. With regular work, the broomcorn will soften and wear naturally, becoming more responsive to the hand.
