This strip laminated omega boomerang was made out of strips of Cherry. This is a preproduction prototype that I acquired from Doug in 2000. The Pocket Hat is a scaled down version of the popular Oregon Hat. Very few of these were made because Doug closed down his Outback Boomerangs company shortly after these prototypes were made. This boomerang is in new condition and it is a very good flyer with a flight range of 25-40 metres. Very Nice and rare!
Doug DuFresne was one of America's best known boomerang manufacturers in the 1980s and 1990s. Doug manufactured a line of high quality Birch plywood and strip laminated boomerangs that were consistently wonderful flyers. Most strip laminated boomerangs were made out of Cherry and/or Ash. The manufacturing tolerances were as tight as you would see on an automotive product. Doug stopped producing boomerangs in the late 1990s and the price of his boomerangs increased dramatically. Doug was one of America's top throwers and a member of the American boomerang team during the formation of the United States Boomerang Association. Doug was also active in the formulation of the USBA competition rule book in the mid 1980s. |
