This unusual wavy hook is very large. Made out of strips of Oak and Ash, the two sides separated by a thin veneer of Walnut, this boomerang is light enough for an adult to throw. I have flight tested this boomerang and it is a good fluer with a low circular flight and a range of 50-60 metres. Nicely finished and in excellent condition. It is a good collectible and a wonderful boomerang for anyone who wants to attract attention by throwing the unusual. Because of size, this boomerang will cost extra to ship to a destination in the USA and it will be very expensive to ship overseas.
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. |
