This strip laminated omega was made out of Canadian Cherry and Walnut in the shape of Herb Smith's Pharaoh in 1994. There are multiple exotic hardwood inserts on the upper surface only of the elbow and both blade tips. It is signed and dated. I threw this boomerang a few times after I acquired it and it has a pleasant low to medium height circular flight with a flight range of 30-40 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. |
