The name came to me after it was finished. Eyes are usually the last, and always the most important and difficult choice. Every pair of eyes changes the character (of the character) This, like all my dogs was made from olive wood cut from our own trees. I cut possibilities when I'm trimming the trees, and choose the best when I decide to make another dog. After sitting out 3 to 5 years, the bark peels off, leaving a beautiful, unique surface.
