Had a thought while talking with my brother today. Would Fatwood work as a board in a firedrill- that way you are not needing as much tinder as the board is the object that is catching the spark/fire. I have never made a bow fire so I rely on your expertise until I can comfortably try this myself.

No, because of the resin.
