How to Easily Make a Wooden Boomerang
- 1). Print a boomerang shape from a computer modeling software. The shape should be a basic "V" for an easy boomerang creation.
- 2). Trace the boomerang shape onto the birch plywood using a pencil. Use 1/4 inch plywood for stability and light weight construction to improve flight performance.
- 3). Place the plywood on a bandsaw table. Cut the boomerang shape out of the plywood using the bandsaw. Use a smooth hand movement to move the plywood through the bandsaw's motions, generating a smooth edge to the shape.
- 4). Sand the boomerang's edges with sand paper. The resulting edges should resemble an airplane's wings, slanting downward for generating lift to achieve flight.
- 5). Test the boomerang. Throw the sanded boomerang to verify that it will return to the thrower. Sand the boomerang's edges again if the boomerang does not function as desired.
- 6). Decorate the boomerang once it functions as desired. Paint the boomerang in unique colors and designs. Alternatively, apply lacquer layers to the wood, creating a glossy depth to the wood's grain. Allow to dry before throwing.
