There is some interesting stuff on club and shiled in Talhoffer, see Medieval Combat by Mark Rector.
Dei Liberi should deal with the wooden club too.

One of Paulus Hector Maire's compendia c.1540 features some cool plates of club fighting. Look like they are using heavy tree branches or fenceposts.

The Getty version of "Flower of Battles" does indeed have a couple of plates showing cudgels being used. Too bad I don't speak/read old Italian <img src="/forum/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Shane try this link.
I think I will be able to find only bit and pieces, but will check some of the other help provided.
Perhaps someone should write one <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />
