This strip laminated hook was made out of Red Elm in the shape of Al Gerhards' large White Lightning hook in 1996. Both blade tips and the elbow have dowel rod inserts in a floral pattern. Both blade tips have a Brass weight inserted in the center of the floral design The undersigned is signed and dated. I am unable to test throw this boomerang because it is right handed and too heavy for me as a lefty. I expect the flight range to exceed 60 metres. This boomerang is in new condition.
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. |
