SL Weighted Hook [SE7]

This unusual strip laminated hook was made out of
Canadian Elm. The lift arm tip and the elbow have an inlaid
flower that was made by drilling holes half way through and
then inserting circular dowel rods made out of exotic
hardwoods. The dingle arm is considerably shorter than the
lift arm and it has three large lead weights to shift the
center of mass towards the same location as a similar
boomerang with blades of equal length. This is one of the
better Cryderman hardwood art models in new condition. Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 35
cm ; Weight = 104 gm 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.
