This lap joint boomerang with a hook shape was made out of two different hardwoods: Mayan Bloodwood and Black Ivory (lift arm tip). The Mayan Bloodwood has a deep red color and the black Ivory is very black with a small section of light color heart wood showing. This boomerang has Dr. Fred's footprint logo written in silver ink on the underside of the elbow and it is dated 1993. It is in new condition and a fine collectable.
Dr. Fred Malmberg was a Podiatrist from Eastern Pennsylvania who made boomerangs for more than 25 years. Fred's specialty was making boomerangs out of exotic hardwoods. He often made boomerangs out of aircraft grade Birch plywood with veneers of exotic wood species on the upper and lower surfaces. Fred sanded the surfaces with a cascade of sandpapers and finishing up with an extremely fine grit that put a super smooth surface on the finished boomerang. Fred usually added oil to the surface for protection and to add a shine. These boomerangs also fly really well and Fred's boomerangs command higher prices because of the workmanship. Very few are offered for sale, so they are rather difficult to find collectibles. |
