Hey Guys, I just received this E-mail from Belinda Maclennan. Her father Duncan is the reason I, and many throwers, are involved in boomerangs today. If it...

Good Day All Duncan and I have been friends for many years. He usually has a huge range of natural elbows both returning and throw sticks. There is no doubt in...

Hi Bart, Â Sometimes you can luck out with plywood. One cheap source, I failed to mention earlier, is a birch plywood often marketed as subflooring ! For about...
I used to melt a fair amount of wax to cover surfboards. We used a tin can, but not directly on a heat source. We boiled water in a pot and then put the tin...
Bart it could be birch and if all the plies are equal thickness, you should be fine. A lot of the Baltic birch coming in has two thinner face plies and three...
