Carving A Boomerang From Brazilian Ipe

Check out this boomerang I carved using Ipe. Ipe is a tropical wood from Brazil that is very dense and resilient to decay. This was my first attempt at making a boomerang and it didn't work as well as I'd like. Here are a few thoughts on what I think could be improved.

1. Ipe is probably too heavy of a wood, the boomerang weighs in at 4 ounces and should probably be more like 3 ounces. The extra weight is probably effecting how it flies.

2. There's an issue with wood movement because I made the boomerang from a solid piece of wood. It's likely to bow with humidity changes, which will effect how well it flies.
