Omega sweeps clean

Chas and Brian are correct it came from a plant like this Broom (Cytisus is its botanical name), the word handle never came into it. I was going to jump in earlier but I thought I'd let it run, someone was bound to get it right. Never thought anyone would think of a brush stale.

Wherever it came from it is a lovely pen. Nicely done.

I'm a plonker. I really thought it was from a broom handle.

Me as well Good job I'm already a fully paid up member of the club

I have seen ( and have in my stockpile ) some hardwood broom handles that are interesting though. It's the modern ones that are featureless.

Nicely done, I can see a lot of people checking out their broom handles today ...

I couldn't help but notice it was all the plonker members who assumed it was a broom handle including the chairman

That will teach me to skip through and not read all the posts ... = Plonker

Yes it was an old bush, been growing for about 10 years, then died. The pen was the last of the useable wood.

Lofty our old Broom bush at home was a curse every year when it came into flower the worst case of Hay fever every time so glad it made such a beaut pen to me it is a standout.
