Friction Fire Tuesday (FFT) weekly practice.
I used regular Jute Twine (7lb work load) as the bowstring this time (Egyptian Bow Drill method) on an all Oak bow drill set.
I made videos a couple days ago using on-the-spot materials and this was the set I failed to get working. I reused the same set this time after it sat in my house for a couple days to dry out.
