Various sizes of shillelaghs have been found, ranging from 1 to 9 feet long! The wood was then treated, heated, and allowed to cure, giving the knots a brilliant grain finish that would be virtually indestructible. When iron and steel were in short supply, these were nature's answer for a durable weapon that would leave a dent in stone or a skull!
