HUGE IRISH BLACKTHORN SHILLELAGH WALKING STICK
Lovely blackthorn shillelagh or walking stick that has been blackened, varnished and beautifully finished entirely by hand. This outstanding stick is superb in every way with lovely colours and marking in the handle. Good strong stick that is both thick and heavy throughout its length.Fitted with a substantial ferrule, would look great in a stick stand or stood in a corner. This stick has a lovely feel about it , pick it up and you will want to swing it. Half the fun of taking a stick for a walk is being able to wield it like a sword or a club as you swish at the nettles. Measures 40 inches long, just right to lean on or carry under the arm in the traditional way.My sticks are traditionally handcrafted on my knee using only the simplest of tools,a knife, a file, sandpaper and elbow grease. No power tools or shortcuts are used, they are crafted just as they were in days past in Old Ireland. I am sure that this stick will soon become a trusty old friend and a real talking piece. A big heavy stick with a lot of presence.
