Jack Byham was one of Australia's best known boomerang manufacturers. He was a real 'Crocodile Dundee' who spent a lot of time with the Aborigines. Jack made boomerangs and throwsticks using traditional Aboriginal methods and many of his products are mistakenly identified as genuine Aboriginal artifacts. Jack is most famous for his commercial boomerang products that spanned a half century from the Olympic Games in Melbourne (1956) through the 1990s. Jack made exceptional throwsticks and natural elbow boomerangs and these are in high demand by Australian collectors. This large hardwood hunting boomerang was probably made in the 1970s by Jack Byham. It was made out of a large curved branch of a Gum hardwood and decorated with Aboriginal style kangaroo and emu art by relief carving. The airfoiling and tuning is for a right handed non-returning hunting stick, but I have not test thrown it. The lower surface is smooth and without decoration. This boomerang is in very good condition and without damage. It will make an excellent display or you can use it for target throwing. Span = 71 cm ; Weight = 474 gm |
