This beautiful feather lapped omega was made out of tropical hardwoods in 1985. Signed and dated, this boomerang is in excellent condition. Both tips have a single lead weight. There is a thin Aluminum sheet separating the laminations on the upper and lower surfaces. A rare and very collectible boomerang.
Oscar Cuartas made beautiful musical instruments out of tropical hardwoods in his native Colombia from the 1940s until his death in 2005. Oscar also made a wonderful line of high performance boomerangs using the same tropical hardwoods and advanced woodworking skills that included feather lapping and bonding aluminum sheet to wood. Oscar won the coveted boomerang design award with one of his large Parrot hooks at the 1984 World Cup, beating out the Janetzki brothers. Cuartas boomerangs were marketed through the Boomerang Man throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. The earlier models made before 1987 had Aluminum cores, and they were not mass produced boomerangs. These were the best performers. Some of these boomerangs may require fine tuning if they have been kept in storage and not thrown |
