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 Mahogany wedge is inserted into both tips. There is also a brass weight that is inserted into both tips. The brass weights are visible only on the upper surface. It is signed, but not dated. I did test throw this boomerang before listing. It has a flight range of 50-60 metres and it requires a hard throw and likes some wind. It is in excellent condition and a wonderful collectable boomerang.

Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 26 cm ;Weight = 80 gm
