About Bullroarers

Usage & Care Guidelines

To use your bullroarer safely: ensure the area above you is clear, hold the string firmly and spin it overhead to let it create its unique sound. Check the rope regularly to prevent breakage and potential hazard from flying wood.

Note: Colours, size and sound may vary depending on wood type and design. For display-only use, always handle with care.
