Wood from trees with club-shaped roots or trunks, or wood traditionally used to make clubs and similar implements.
From club + wood. This compound likely developed among craftspeople and woodworkers to describe wood suitable for manufacturing clubs or other club-like implements.
The choice of wood for making clubs was as important to ancient warriors as choosing a golf club is to modern golfers—different woods offered different weight, flex, and durability properties that made them suited for different purposes.
