## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The Process Is Well Described
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022*

I would have liked more pictures with dimensions of the various shillelaghs; especially in regards to the oval cross-sectioned clubs described.  However, the process for finding, cutting, curing, shaping, oiling, waxing/polishing the shillelaghs is quite thoroughly described and easy to follow.

    Shillelagh Makers
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2013*

There are two reasons to read this book.  I had really wanted to make one, or several, and had some experience making staffs for walking or display.  The book will teach you what you want to look for in raw wood stock and how to go about, stage by stage, making a nice looking shillelagh.  The second reason to read this book is to learn some history about shillelaghs as a weapon.  Some heads were knocked over the course of history and it was a formidable weapon in the hands of a skilled shillelagh wielder.  Very interesting stuff.  Make one.

    Ever wonder how Clancy lowered the boom?
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2015*

John Hurley offers a comprehensive overview of the Irish fighting stick, with emphasis on its construction. The sticks' fit with Irish agrarian society and folklore is also touched upon. For today's United States where one doesn't want to add to gun violence but would like a bit of an equalizer in dealing with intruders or muggers, the shillelagh, with a bit of training offers a puzzling and decisive advantage to the good guy. We old guys can sometimes even get on a plane with one! If not, they're fine in checked baggage.
