Brooms made from bamboo splits. The sample has a very interesting construction. Fine bamboo splits are prepared with the help of broad bladed knife. These are fairly long and are taken in groups of threes of fours bent in the middle and interlaced with other sets, to form a chain-linked border with the length of the splits extending on one side of this border.

This results in a long fringe like structure, held together at the border. With one edge of the fringe maintained as an axis, the rest of the border is twirled around this axis to form the conical handle before the end of the border is tucked in and the whole assembly is bound at one point by a split-bamboo binding.
