Any secrets to a good feather stick?

Thanks MRpink!

Fuzzies or feather sticks are a great way to pass the time on a long winter camping trip. Considering night is pretty long, you can learn to make a decent fuzz stick in a single night. Practice is your best friend. Remember, increase the surface to mass ratio of the wood with many fine curls, not a few thick ones. The fine ones will ignite more readily.

I finally had a chance to get out and practice with two of my knives.

I spent quite a bit of time working on these. I appreciate all the tips and the advice. Push the knife, and pulling the stick worked well to control the pressure. I also angled my knife to help it slice, rather than trying to just push at it. Woohoo!
