About
Mission Statement/Bio
Crescent Moon Boomerangs is a small business that is slowly but steadily finding its home here in Vermont. Each ‘rang’ is handcrafted and unique to all others in that no two are exactly alike. Yet each one maintains a guaranteed return if learned to throw properly. Before urethaning each rang they are test flown for accuracy and strength. I use only the finest 10 ply birch wood available on the market that’s imported from Finland to give each rang a special aesthetic beauty/strength and durability ( with the exception of the Cross Stick with which I use a lighter 5 ply grade a birch). Of all the 11 boomerang styles/designs I use, 5 are original ( The Crescent, Mini Crescent, Large Crescent, Peregrine and Moby Dick ).

- I hope to share and discover more of this magical and unusual sport/art form with all and everyone who is interested in learning .
These “rangs” are not toys or for that matter weapons ( a popular misconception that extends to Aboriginal culture…see the “History” post for more info) but are instead “sport articles” that are made for adults and not children under the age of 13.I owe many thanks to my friends as well as my sister Jenny, for their help with the web site template, photography and artwork for my business.

Many thanks to Benjamin Ruhe and Bernard Mason whose books have helped me learn the art form of creating, throwing and catching as well as the awe inspiring craftsman around the states and globe ( Herb Smith, Al Gerhards and David Fantone for starters)
