This strip laminated "U" was made out of Canadian White Oak and Ash in 1995. Both blade tips have a lead weight and an exotic hardwood insert next to the weight. There is also an exotic hardwood flower made out of an array of dowel rod inserts on both blades. The decorative dowel rod flower shows only on the upper surface. This is an early Cryderman boomerang and it is not signed or dated, but I obtained it from John in 1995. I expect the flight range to exceed 50 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. |
