This beautiful lap joint was made in 1994 out of Walnut. There is a 3/4 inch dowel of Purple Heart in the elbow to strengthen the lap. This boomerang is finished to 12,000 grit and it has a hand rubbed oil finish. This is the only lap joint I have seen by Steve Conaway and the quality is very high. It is in new and flawless condition. I made only a few throws after acquiring it and it had a nice flight of 30+ metres. It has been in my collector's box for the better part of 3 decades. A very nice collectible.

Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 32 cm ; Weight = 62 gm
