wooden clubs

Carved hardwood weapons

Wooden clubs are blunt weapons or tools made of wood, typically a solid piece thicker at one end for striking.

The term covers everything from primitive weapons to sporting equipment like baseball bats and golf clubs.

In historical or fantasy contexts, wooden clubs evoke crude weaponry: The ogre swung a massive wooden club.

Police batons and billy clubs are modern descendants.
