Thanks for your interesting story, do you have any pictures of it, I may be able to identify it or know somebody that could ? Enthusiasts like myself also make boomerangs so it’s possible it could have been a ‘one off’ or not many of them made by that particular maker.

Thanks it’s 3.2mm black SRBP phenolic

Yea defo, not seen one like it before.

@@petergrisdale6797 I think he had a fascination for Japanese culture.

@sergepaulin9243 Yea I heard the same.

@@petergrisdale6797 He seems to have a lot in common with novelist James Clavell

@@sergepaulin9243 oh I don’t know him I’ll have to look him up, I’m also interested in Japan, infact I grow bonsai too.

Don’t know I’ve never thrown it, will have to give it a go

I’ve not thrown this one before, but since a few people have asked I’ll give it a go next time I’m out

Possible but think I’m still sticking with mahogany, a low quality mahogany

Right. Cherry would have to be more red.

@@sergepaulin9243Yea cherry has a less open grain too

🤭🤣🤣

thanks for sharing 😊

Yea looks good too 👍🏻

Check this nice metal Soundtrack.😉🤟🏻

Thanks, this one was kind of experimental to see if I could seal everything well enough under the 2 pack lacquer (which it did)

Thank you! Cheers!

Fantastic, you won’t be disappointed, they take a couple sessions to get use to throwing them but then you kinda just kinda click with your boom and then become best friends 😎

@@petergrisdale6797 Thanks, I haven't heard back yet but I understand its a small business. I would like to know if you recommend any other brands and models to worth considering?.

The best way to contact James is through messenger or Facebook, he makes all his booms to order and can help recommend a boom to you, he also has a Facebook group called boomerangs uk that I can recommend to join, lots of people that can help and give pointers on all manner of boomerang related enquiries from making, throwing ect. Tbh not many good makers out their nowadays as very little money to be made making them, I can recommend having a look on ‘theboomerangman’ website and you can also try looking up Victor Poulin his booms are easy to throw, all depends what you are looking for and how experienced you are at throwing them, James hoy booms are pretty extreme and take skill and knowledge to use them but I have also seen beginners throwing them successfully with a little guidance. Being in the Facebook group is a great help when looking to buy booms and get advice/recommendations.

@@petergrisdale6797 thanks for the tips, really helps and I appreciate it. I’ll do some more research but I think I’m already sold on the dragonfly ! ! ! Nice one.

Hoys ‘ohlala’ is a particular special boom too, in a league of its own in my opinion 😉

Ah yes I’ve seen a couple of those, they are pretty rare tbh, you should be able to fix it with either epoxy or wick into it some thin ca while holding the crack closed with a clamp.

Hi Richard, thanks for looking and for your comments, you’re a true legend in the boomerang world ! All my boom vids if I’ve stated as original and not a reproduction have only been very carefully cleaned and polished to preserve them for future generations, so while some do look ‘new’ they are actually sporting the original paint finish.

Yea defo, it scared me too, I didn’t think it was going to make it back tbh lol, that was actualy my first throw of that boomerang and since I made it for somebody else I didn’t want to make any marks on it so only threw it the once.

If I find one I must have it 😂😅

This paint was either from cobra or plasti-koat then lacquered over with a two pack spray paint called ‘spray max’ the spray max is very expensive but well worth it for a solid scratch resistant finish.

@@petergrisdale6797Thanks for the info! I’m a boomerang fanatic and have been thinking about painting some of my James Hoy G-11 and Carbon Fiber rangs. Seeing your video is giving me the motivation to do it!

Ahh no probs, I’m always happy to share any info, James hoy is a good friend of mine and lives near by, I go throwing with James maybe twice a year, he has helped and taught me allot. Oh I forgot to say you have to spray a white undercoat first with this type of paint.

This is a paxolin boomerang made by the famous British thrower and maker Herb Smith

Yea a true british old time gentleman

Yea man 😎

Thanks yea I feel the same sometimes but they are made with a tough finish 😉

Hi this is phenolic called (SRBP) super resin bonded paper, from AI plastics, cheapest place I’ve found to buy it in the U.K. www.aiplastics.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAmsurBhBvEiwA6e-WPE-M682OF19ze8xVCJbS9lxrjGJh6YPaTjqr07tEnTctmt_XE_mUcBoCJDcQAvD_BwE

Totally agree, prob be next spring now the poor winter weather is here 😢

Thank you for the compliment 👍🏻

Ah nice 👍🏻 you don’t see many people throwing them, not sure why 🤷‍♂️

Yea they seem to be very hard to find

Is it the Wind Cheater or the Wind Eater? @@petergrisdale6797

Sorry for the late reply, it’s wind eater

Hehe lol, thanks for looking :)

Thanks 😎
