Bakwood Boomerangs has been making high quality sporting boomerangs for decades. The company has had several owners, all in the UK. Howard Baker was the first owner. He made high quality strip laminated traditional boomerangs out of Ash. These were great flyers and the price was very reasonable. The strip laminated traditionals came in two sizes, but larger, custom made boomerangs were also crafted. Howard's nephew, Adrian Green worked with him and continued making the Bakwood Boomerangs after Howard's death. Adrian supplied boomerangs to David Jones and then the whole business was assumed by Richard Ogilvy under the Davro label. At some point, the name was changed from Bakwoods to Bakwood.

This extra large strip laminated Ash traditional boomerang was custom made for Max Hoeben in the mid 1970s. This boomerang is huge! The span is a full metre (3+ feet) and the strips used to construct it were more than 1.5 metres (5 feet) long. It takes two hands and a running throw for best results. Max painted black stripes and " Max's Wood " on the upper surface of the dingle arm. Max used this for demo throwing throughout the 1970s and 1980s. You can see it in the many films of Max that were taken in the 1970s. This boomerang is well made and undamaged, except for light wear from use and a compression ding on the dingle arm tip (not structural, no cracks, etc.). It would be very difficult to ship this boomerang overseas.
