"A shillelagh (shill-lay-lee) is a wooden walking stick, club, or cudgel typically made from a stout knotty blackthorn stick with a large knob at the top. It is associated with Ireland and Irish folklore. Most commonly, the chosen wood would be placed up a chimney to cure for a duration of several months to several years; the accumulated layer of soot gave the shillelagh its typical black shiny appearance. The less frequent method was to bury the shank in a dung pile." -Cold Steel
