This large hook was made out of alternating Cherry and Walnut strips in 1994. It has the same shape as Al Gerhards' White Lightning. but the lighter weight Cherry and walnut strips make this one much easier to throw. I haven't thrown it for decades, but I remember it to be a very good flyer with a flight range of more than 50 metres. This boomerang is signed and dated 1994. It is in like new condition. A wonderful collectible that flies well.
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. |
