I was told that my grandpa McMillion handcrafted cane chairs. I have a short handled broom that says it was made at Berea College in Ky. I think I got it at either a yard sale or thrift store. I’m not sure what kind of wood the handle was made from, I’ll have to ask my son, he’s a woodworker and he is good at figuring those kind of things out.
