This blackthorn Shillelagh features a large gnarly root ball head, showing the true natural form of the wood after years of growth in the forests of County Waterford. The head is full of texture and detail, giving it a strong presence and making it a real standout piece with deep character.
The shaft is made from mature blackthorn, with well-defined knuckles where the thorns once grew, adding to its traditional look. Finished with a natural oil coating, the stick retains its authentic appearance while being protected for long-term use. This is a luxury piece that combines strength, craftsmanship, and the raw beauty of Irish wood.
It works well as a walking stick, a hiking companion, or a striking display piece with a real story behind it.
You’ll receive the exact stick shown in the photo. The stick can be sized to your preferred length — you can leave a note at checkout or get in touch to discuss, but we generally recommend shortening it yourself once you have it in hand so you can choose the perfect height.
