I am still thinking that the thread starter is possibly rural European. The wood, with the dark heart wood is that African does African wood show seasons? I do not know a great deal about woods. When looking at images of "shillelagh" they all seam to show this dark heart wood or season. Personally I have not seen this on African clubs, none of mine have it.

Meet my new East African club. There is something wonderfully primeval elemental, even the texture of the wood is like bone. It looks like a strange leg bone images of Stanley Kubricks 2001 space odyssey come to mind. It is a very nicely balanced weapon, I like the way the handle end is finished. I have shown it next to a large knobkerrie so you can see it is quite a thumper 83cm long.
