This unusual boomerang is a replica of an early prototype hook made by Al Gerhards in the mid 1970s. It was made out of Canadian White Oak. It is a good flyer with a flight range of 45 metres. The boomerang is signed and dated 1997. It is in marvelous condition. The previous owner was a collector who never threw it. I gave it about 5 test throws and found it to be a good flyer, but you do need to give it moderate power for a full return. A wonderful collectible in almost 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. |
