Traditionally, how were these made? I always assumed a tree fell and they just took a limb (handle) and left a chunk of trunk (ball) and carved it down, but I’m not sure and that may not be very strong thinking about it further.
 
Ummm saywhatnow? You have ample opportunities to bust out ye old war club in your life?? :D

Actually back in the days of the dinosaurs, when I was a cop I had a Billy club similar to post six that rode in my door console, for special occasions , - bar fights and riots, and counting Coups :evil: Can't get away with that today.:cool:
 
A nice looking piece of art there. To me the North American native warrior's battle clubs seem so much more refined than the knotty Irish Shillelaghs do. Of course those are usually "canes", but the martial use of them both is similar. :thumbup:

Cool man cave as well!

By the name, are you descended from the Hungarian region of Europe? My first wife's family was from the Budapest area, but they fled to Australia after the uprising.

Stay safe.
 
Riomouse,
Yes, Hungarian on my Father's side. Bohemian n my maternal side.
I'm the original Bo-Hunkie!
 
Lol! Nice... my former brother in law married a Hispanic woman originally from Mexico. They called their son a Hunsican...

Stay safe.

Hey! I resent that! ;):D

You are right. Shillelaghs are much less refined, and typically much lighter in hand.

But what they lack in refinement, they make up for in camouflage. I carry a shillelagh all the time now when out walking, because it's "just a walking stick". Carrying a club would get me a severe talking to.
