SHILLELAGH

Shillelaghs are traditionallymade from blackthorn(sloe) wood (Prunus spinosa) or oak.Wood from the root was prized as it was less prone to cracking during use. Thewood would be smeared with butter or lard, and placed up a chimney to cure,giving the shillelagh its typical black shiny appearance. Shillelaghs may behollowed at the heavy \"hitting\" end and filled with molten lead toincrease the weight beyond the typical two pounds; this sort of shillelagh isknown as a \'loaded stick\'.They are commonly the length of a walking stick (distance from the floor toone\'s wrist with elbow slightly bent). Most also have a heavy knob for a handlewhich can be used for striking as well as parrying and disarming an opponent.
