Eulalie Dulnuan recounts how a friend, Raymond, once showed her the personal mark he carved into his work—a practice common among highly skilled, professional carvers who practice their craft with deep pride and ownership. These marks serve as signatures, especially for those who carve for cultural purposes or for their livelihood. However, Dulnuan notes that carvers who create pieces primarily for the tourism market rarely add such marks, highlighting a difference between traditional craftsmanship and commercial production.
