Doug DuFresne was one of America's best known boomerang manufacturers in the 1980s and 1990s. Doug manufactured a line of the highest quality boomerangs produced anywhere in the world. This include numerous models made out of plywood and strip lamination of Cherry and/or Ash. Everything was a great flyer and the manufacturing tolerances were as tight as you would see on automotive products. Doug stopped producing boomerangs in the late 1990s and the price of the boomerangs that he had made increased substantially. Doug was also one of America's top throwers and a boomerang team member in the earlier days of the American movement. Doug was active in formulating the competition rules for the USBA in the mid 1980s.

This strip laminated omega boomerang was made out of Ash wood strips with the center strips dyed orange and brown. The Oregon Hat logo is burned into the upper surface of the elbow. The under surface of the elbow has the Outback Boomerangs ID burned into it. This boomerang is from the Larry Ruhf collection. It is in mint condition. The flight range is approximately 30-40 metres.

Specifications: Right Handed ; Tip-to-tip Span = 33 cm ; Weight = 62 gm
