This large traditional boomerang was made out of strips of White Oak and Elm in 1995. The underside has " White Oak and Ash by John K. Cryderman Oct. 1995 #7 " written in pen. Nice airfoiling and smooth finish. It is in excellent condition. The only defect is a small gap in one of the plies visible from the underside only. This should not affect the flight or strength. A good collectible and an early Cryderman.

Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 60 cm ; Weight = 196 gm


John Cryderman (from Chatham, Canada) is well known for making high quality strip laminated and Birch plywood boomerangs. Many of these are John's original designs. However, he occasionally makes replicas of boomerangs made by other famous boom makers, such as the strip laminated hooks and omegas made by Al Gerhards of Downington, Pennsylvania. John usually makes his strip laminated boomerangs out of native Canadian hardwoods, but he will often use exotic woods, such as Mahogany and Ebony. Some of the plywood and strip laminated boomerangs are decorated with inlaid plugs of exotic woods arranged in pseudo-floral patterns. The vast majority of John's boomerangs are large in size and they require a strong thrower in order for the boomerang to make a full return.
