Thomas Münch was a German boomerang craftsman who made beautiful strip laminated boomerangs of the highest quality. Thomas laminated his blanks using thick strips of hardwoods similar to the technique used by Al Gerhards. Many of the Münch blanks had very sharp bends and he often added a wedge of dark Walnut into the tips. He also added brass or lead weights to some of his boomerangs to give them more range. Volker Behrens occasionally made boomerangs using blanks constructed by Thomas Münch. Boomerangs made by Thomas Münch are very rare because not many were made.

This boomerang from the Volker Behrens collection is a right handed strip laminated "U" made by Thomas Münch. A Walnut wedge is inserted into both tips. It is not signed or dated. There are two lead weights taped to the underside for balance. The weights can easily be removed. I did test throw this boomerang before listing. It has a short range of 25-30 metres. It is in excellent condition. However, there is a very small indentation on the upper surface of the lift arm.

Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 29 cm ;Weight = 54 gm
