Perfect Your Hobby With A Beautiful New Birchwood Boomerang

By Marie Wallace


Whether you consider yourself a professional boomerang thrower, an amateur who enjoys the hobby or an enthusiast looking for something more, getting your hands on the right kind of equipment is of the most importance. It would be a travesty to get into such a specialized hobby, only to have the most essential tool needed fail because it was badly made and had poor grade material. The easiest way to avoid such a problem is to get yourself a top notch birchwood boomerang.

Your typical boomerang has a v shape to it which makes it an airfoil that aerodynamically spins in a direction that is perpendicular to its target path. This type of design in addition to quality throwing techniques make for effortless gliding while allowing the tool to come back to its owner. Because it rotates quickly and flies fast, even a minor design malfunction could result in you or someone else being seriously injured, meaning that having top of the line equipment is a necessity.

Boomerangs actually were originally developed as decoys and weapons during hunting and are still used that way by a select few hunters today. In fact, 50,000 year old cave paintings in Australia that depict native people using them to hunt place them as the oldest manmade weapon ever discovered. Boomerangs also hold the title for the oldest manmade object capable of steady flight.

Across the millennia, boomerang designs have improved along with the throwing techniques accompanying them. Present day, you can find these objects made of everything from foam, wood, plastic, and leather, to carbon materials typically found in airplanes. Even though a plethora of materials is used by manufacturers, there are a host of advantages why you should consider birchwood.

The grain in Birchwood is straight to slightly wavy with a plain even texture and a slight luster naturally. This beautiful wood creates boomerangs that are extremely pleasing to the eye. This wood also takes well to staining, waxing, and painting, making customization options endless.

Another advantage to using birch as your wood of choice is the fact that it is both lightweight and considered a hardwood. This means that even a sizable tool would be easy to heft. More importantly, it will hold up to even the most rigorous use.

Perhaps most importantly, the straightness within the grain offers another substantial advantage regarding aerodynamics. During carving, top specimens are made with wood grain that can in straight lines, ending at the point of each v. This construction method aids in aerodynamics by offering more substantial lift, steadier flying, and higher top speeds.

It does not matter how infatuated you are with this hobby because you can purchase high quality boomerangs built out of birch without laying down a lot of cash. After you can look at, handle, and test out one for yourself, the reason birchwood is a superior construction material will become clear. Show it off to your loved ones, then see the real difference in the field.
