This right handed traditional lap joint boomerang was made out of Queensland Silky Oak hardwood. In the USA, this wood is usually called Lacewood. This is the smaller and earlier model with a 3 piece construction. The upper surface has a small kangaroo painted on the elbow and Aboriginal style line art on the blades. The reverse side has the Hawes map logo with the words " L. Hawes Australia " neatly printed inside the map. It originally belonged to Ben Ruhe and it was sold to Bob Foresi in 1981 with a note that said " One of the boomerangs when aesthetics and performance are counted. Works only when it is very calm. I've had this 'rang hover so well a slight thermal actually blew it upwards. ". This is one of the nicest Silky Spinners I have ever seen and it is in mint condition.
