Eastern Red Cedar spindle on a Willow fire board. Got the cedar the day before during a campout and Willow from near the pond. Not the smoothest job but it got done in spite of me.

I've never tried a bow drill but it looks like a pretty workable system. Good job on the video & thanks for sharing!

Good work. I love the way cedar smells when using it in a bow drill.

It's not so hard but can be if the conditions, materials and setup isn't right. I guess that applies to most things. Thanks for the positive comments.
