How to Make and Throw a Real Boomerang
To make a boomerang get a strip of hard wood 2 inches wide and 2 feet long and plane it down until it is 3/16 inch thick.
Now cut the stick in two in the middle as shown at A, in Fig. 3, dovetail them together at the elbow and smear on plenty of good glue to make a strong joint. Whittle the ends to the shape shown at B, and you will have a boomerang modeled after one now in my possession made by a native Australian. The original, however, is made of a bent limb of a tree and this of course makes it much stronger.
To throw the boomerang grasp it by one end as shown at C, throw it with all you might, and as it leaves your hand give it a circular motion as shown by the curved arrows in the picture, and it will come back to you.
