This unusual hook was made out of alternating strips of Cherry and Walnut in 1994. The lighter weight woods make this one much easier to throw than boomerangs made out of Oak or Maple. There are two lead weights in the dingle arm tip to act as a counter weight against the longer lift arm. One of the weights has the number " 001 " stamped as a serial number. I have kept it in my collection since 1994 without throwing it. This boomerang is signed and dated 1994. It is in new condition. A wonderful collectible.
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. |
