Hi Tim

I like your club and would certainly purchase if it was going at a sensible price.

Mine is small and has some small damage, but I bought it because it has a great patina. The fibre cord is clearly very old.

My club is relatively small and I doubt it can have been used as an effective weapon of war. It must have had another primary function, to my mind.

The reason I asked what kind of wood it was is that this seems of significance. I have also forgotten what kind of what wood mine is, but it is of the variation of timber that is available there.

Will ask the man I purchased it from when next I see him.

But it has a very textural quality.
