This strip laminated omega was made in 1985 out of thick Maple, White Oak and Walnut strips. The central strip is Walnut and the inner strips are Maple. All of these are hardwoods native to New England. It is signed and dated. I acquired this omega in a trade in 1986 and used it in the Aussie Round event for 2 years before retiring it to my collection box. It still looks like new and it has a marvelous 50 metre flight. The quality is every bit as good as that of al Gerhards' models. John only made 100 strip laminated boomerangs and I have never seen one offered for sale. Throwers who have them, keep them. A very fine and rare collectible in mint condition.
John Flynn has been one of America's top boomerang throwers for almost 3 decades. John is especially well known for his competitiveness in the Fast Catch event. However, John is skilled in all of the competition events and has been a prominent member of an American boomerang team in almost every international event. John makes a large percentage of the boomerangs in his throw kit. He also made a series of 100 strip laminated omegas and hooks that had the same high performance as the famous Gerhards hooks and omegas. Very few Flynn boomerangs make it into collections because John rarely made anything for sale to others. |
