Most Expensive Boomerang I've Made   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3361 of 5240 |
Dear Group,

I'm currently finishing a boomerang that has taken me one year to
make and has cost me (materials)$325.00 total.

I got the idea about one year ago while stopping by starbucks (I call
it three-bucks) for a morning cappiccino. I felt bad just tossing my
little wooding stir-sticks in the garbage and thought I could surely
find some use for this little pine stick. By now I'm sure you know
where I'm going, and yes, this new boomerang is manufactured from 100
stir sticks, each used to perfect my moring java.

I chose to make a Gel Sunshine (one of my favorite booms of all
time). This booms is not the easiest to lay-up as a strip-lam because
of the tight elbow, but with just a bit of moisture these stir sticks
are bending nicely.

So, no pictures yet as the boom is only halfway put together. But in
a couple days or weeks when it's finished I'll put post some pic's.

Any sugestions for a name?

Cheers,
Morri
Southern California
