The best Shillelaghs spend a year buried in manure

Would that be to add insult to injury perhaps?
It's bad enough to get wacked with an Irish super stick, but one which has been stewing in feces for a year.........YUCK!

I think I'll experiment with Ipe' a.k.a. South American ironwood which is an incredibly dense and heavy variety of hardwood which contains high levels of silica

This has gotten to be a very interesting subject........Does anyone have pics of their Cromachs or Shillelaghs to show off??
