neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 A real Shillelagh should be covered in blood and sweat, LOL, no really as they were used by the Celts as a weapon. It looks nice and IMO a clear varnish would finish it nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wullz 408 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I read somewhere that they should be covered in butter and jammed up a chimney for a few months, then polished and varnished......dunno if thats true tho! Could have been a wind up!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
