This bonker would make a great gift for a fisherman/woman or an outdoor enthusiast that already has everything. Handcarved in Qualicum Beach, BC from a special piece of diamond willow. The colours are all natural, no stains were used. Many hours went into making this beauty. Bonker/Shillelaghs are really a relative to the Irish Shillelagh which is named after a village of the same name, in east central Ireland. The Irish Shillelagh is a short club (about 18-24" long) , that was carried as a defense against muggers and thieves.
