Hooked hunting boomerang - black wattle timber
Individually hand-crafted from the Black Wattle tree, these authentic hand carved hooked hunting boomerangs are a collector’s item.
Black wattle timber is very hard to find and these boomerangs are handmade by a master craftsman.
These traditionally made hunting "Killer" boomerangs have been made by 80 years old Aboriginal Elder, Joe Skeen Snr, whose late father, William Skeen, taught him this tradition as a young boy.
Joe Skeen and his family spend many days along river banks looking for the right shaped black wattle timber that Joe can shape in the traditional manner that he was taught over 70 years ago.
Joe Skeen is a Kuku-THaypan elder and third generation Aboriginal artifact maker.
The hook boomerang is designed to curve very slightly when thrown. This allows it to stay in the air long enough to cover a large distance. People used these large boomerangs to hunt birds, kangaroos and emus.
This is a traditional hunting and killing boomerang. It is meant to travel in the
direction thrown and not return to the thrower.
Non-returning boomerangs are larger and heavier than the returning
boomerangs and have a hook shape.
Size: 24-28 inches wide
