Kayan - Jimmy Frank
About this item
Pair of Kayan (Boomerangs)
Jimmy Frank (Japarula) specialises in carving traditional implements such as Boomerangs, Coolamans, Didgeridoos, Woomeras, Spears, Clap Sticks, Stone Knives and Shields. He learned how to carve from his Uncle Day Day Frank. He collects the timber locally – Mulga, Snappy Gum, Badwadie, Dogwood, Blue Mallee, and occasionally timber from the Bean tree. He prefers a natural stain which emphasises the grain of the wood.
