Over the years, Gothic Arch was one of his boomerangs that I featured. Tom is also an excellent artist in oils and other media.

Bill’s a long-time Boomerang Man customer and friend getting his first
boomerang from me at age 15.
He enjoys making his unique art rangs.
Contact <[email protected]> if you are interested in having him
do something special for you. No promises that he’ll do it.
For Bill, it’s a hobby more than a business.
Large Natural Wood
Made in Columbia, South American by OSCAR QUARTEZ(deceased).
Oscar supplied The Boomerang Man with several exotic shapes made from rare S.A. woods.
Most are considered extremely collectable.
This hook is modeled after the fantastic hook design of AL GERHARD.
On a boomerang auction site, one of this model hook sold for $1200.
My hook is displayed in my shop along with Original Al Gerhard Hooks and Herb Smith Hooks.
You should visit me some day and view the many rare boomerangs in my personal collection.
Soaring Eagle
Artist TOM RISHER made a line of omega and conventional style boomerangs each featuring
his special hand applied woodburn art.
From time to time, I do have a few of his boomerangs for sale.
They are excellent flyers. Each applied art is unique.
If you are into collecting quality boomerangs, look for TOM’S GRAYFORD BRAND rangs.

Ron in Virginia shares his collection
Do you know what that round, gray and white object is?
I don’t. An old CD player? What do you think it is?
But I love his collection. A touch of art, too.
