There is in Basque Country forests a very special type of wood, a rare and singular tree which precious branches are worked for years by hand : it is called the Medlar. It grows in the wild, deeply hidden in the forest, protected by ramparts of brambles. Both sturdy and easy to work, it is exclusively used to make the Makila, the famous shepherds’ stick. Its fruit, Mizpira in basque, gave its name to the first creation of Les Couteliers Basques.
