Loyal #26

Triblader with Walnut veneer and G10 core

Loyal #26 is something else. I wanted to create a boomerang based on mid-century design with clean lines, minimal details, geometric shape and a combination of natural and manmade materials. 

Some time ago I bought a stack of old veneers from a retired furniture restoration guy. 4 layers of Walnut veneer make up the outer layers of this triblader. The inner core is a 1mm layer of G10, a composite material made of fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin.

The layers are glued together with epoxy and the wood is finished with multiple layers of homemade wipe-on polyurethane. 

The boomerang has a fairly high flight. It flies well in wind or no-wind conditions and requires a medium throw. It has a minimal hover due to the slim waist. 

Wingspan: 32.8cm 

Wood: Walnut

Finish: Wipe on poly

Add-on: G10 core

Distance: 25m

Power: medium

Flight: Medium height. Elliptical to circular flight. Minimal hover.
