Hello Maxime: maybe you can add some more about your training and research about the shillelagh on this Topic or start a specific Topic about them. 
For those who don't know, Max has done some serious research in Ireland about the Shillelagh but I won't say much more because I don't know how much he want to say about it here at this moment: Lets just say he found rare and difficult to access sources of information and I don't know what he is free to talk about or if he is keeping this stuff for a future book, martial arts course or article.
Just saying I don't know !  |
I carry a custom made shillelagh every were I go, it is an excellent weapon, here is a picture of some old and modern shillelagh.  Also I have a picture of two old Japanese fighting sticks or clubs each about 4.5 feet long...the one with the iron studs is a kanabo or tetsuba, I am not sure what the other one is called, maybe just a bo in the style of a walking stick.

Hey,
I'm now trying to (using the instructions of found on this thread) make a sort of quaterstaff/peasant staff sort of thing from some form of Gum Tree.
Note to self: Make a club out of Iron Bark root at some point

If you want to make a Peasant Staff then you might want to use an uprooted sapling as your starting point.

Well, I'd love to, but trying to find a decent one is a nightmare
