This small strip laminated hook was made out of Red Oak in the shape of a small Gerhards hook. Both blade tips and the elbow have an inlaid flower that was made by drilling holes half way through and then inserting circular dowel rods made out of exotic hardwoods. This one is in new condition and it is a very nice flyer with a flight range of 45+ metres.
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. |
