Thanks, I've actually been offroading in a car lol. Back in high school we used to take my best friend's Chevy Berretta places that guys in 4x4's wouldn't. Just gotta get a longer running start lol, that and being young and dumb and not knowing we COULDN'T do itGlad you made it out reasonably OK, David!
I hate when that kind of stuff happens to me when I'm off-roadin' with my 2007 Focus!

Oh, to be young and dumb again!Thanks, I've actually been offroading in a car lol. Back in high school we used to take my best friend's Chevy Berretta places that guys in 4x4's wouldn't. Just gotta get a longer running start lol, that and being young and dumb and not knowing we COULDN'T do it
I'd settle for just young.
While I dont consider myself old yet at only 40, I still agree. By looking at my above post it still seems I got the "dumb" part covered from time to time still

boomerang! So cool, thank you! I wish I could capture the lovely wood grain in pictures. Echo ran over to help.
Really cool, Rachel. Way to go, Jon!An oddly shaped package arrived from Australia. As I took it out of the post office locker, I could feel something struggling to get out. I suppose it was trying to return home, but I managed to grab it before it took flight!

I think we found the cormorant:
Thanks, Jon, it's really cool! I might try to throw it some time, but I'll have to find enough open space. I'll probably get lots of exercise chasing after it (Echo does not fetch)

....Now I can't vouch for its aerodynamics re spin and return...I didnt test it....but its got the shape ...it might be left handed...serious....the best part is you need to find suitably curved timber out in the bush...its not simply a cut out shape..
I look forward to trying it out.The mailpersons must have had their winged sandals on....that was quick.
So glad you like it
Hold it flat in front of you with both hands and it looks like its been twisted....a bit like 2 propellers..getting that shape was interesting...a lot of rasping and sanding.
The first ones are more like flying cricket bats....not something you want coming back at you...anyway...if thrown correctly it should spin and go straight....conversely its a neat wall hanger and conversation piece...there are various uses too....music...digging...whacking young children to keep in line....I discovered that they make great neck massagers too...nothing like primitive technology...what knife can do all that ?i ask you.

When we were kids, I remember playing with cheap toy "boomerangs" That were very flat and "L" shaped. We tried throwing them like frisbees. They never came back and I assumed I was doing it wrong, but maybe it's because they were cheap toys without that propeller twist. 
Congratulations
I really do appreciate the care that went into the making of this one. It's just lovely.
Another package was in the mail box today, from @Jack Black. As usual when he says he's going to mail something (a Lambsfoot knife that @5K Qs won and passed on to me in the Lambsfoot thread) he goes on to fill the box with all sorts of treasures:
Besides all sorts of candy and snacks (even vegan jerky for my mom!) and fun lamb-themed toys, there are a few cool knives. A Japanese fixed blade (kiridashi?) a Swiss Army style in a nice leather case, and a tiny silver fruit knife.
Plus, a sturdy bottle opener made from an old spindle! I think it might get some use this weekend.
Thank you, Jack.
