This might sound a daft question, but where can I buy a besom?

If you have any managed woods in the area, then ask the owner/worker.
Besoms are one of the products made from coppice thinnings. If you can
find one it will probably be made to a better standard, from local
sustainable woodland, and benefit in a small way the local economy.

I'd make you one but I'm in the westcountry.
