I learned this from some botanist and he gave me some tinder, the stick, and a peice of baseboard to try it out. Instead of makeing a bow however, I cheated and used a drill :grin2:

Lots of smoke, and eventually I got a few embers but no flame. Maybe I need more tinder?

BTW; has anyone else here try makeing a fire by friction?
