Before You Buy.
Shillelaghs have
been adapted to various forms throughout the centuries as the needs of their users changed. We make many differing types of
Shillelaghs, so the client is advised to carefully consider their own particular needs when choosing a stick.
Caring for your
Shillelagh .
Our
sticks go through many processes over a three year period, that are designed to produce items with characteristics that are
as close as possible to 'real Shillelaghs'.
This involves retaining a certain amount of moisture in the sticks and treating with preserving oils, which are both
important factors in giving the stick its' unique 'feel' or balance.
They are not dried out pieces of wood, and so will require a certain amount of care and
diligence from the user to avoid heat expansion and/or rapid drying out.
Avoid storing for prolonged periods :
Near a heat source.
In direct sunlight(window display)
In a vehicle during warm weather.
In a gun cabinet/glass display case.
In a cupboard or any confined area
where conditions might vary significantly from a comfortable living area.
While Blackthorn is at
home in the cool, damp air of Ireland, your stick will be perfectly fine when kept in an area where a person would feel comfortable.
However, we want our clients to have a Shillelagh to treasure and pass on to future
generations, and so we offer the following conditions of sale.
Should you be unhappy in any way with your purchase, you may return it within 30
days for replacement or full refund of the purchase price.
Should your stick develop a structural problem, you may return it within 12 months
for replacement.
The purchaser will be responsible for ALL shipping costs .
Our sticks are becoming increasingly popular with
collectors. Because we cannot control how sticks in a collection are stored or displayed, we limit replacement/refund offer
to one stick per client.
