Good woods for the drill and board are willow, rhodadendron, alder and Ivy...
Bad woods are ones that don't release dust too easily or are very resinous like, pine and silver birch

nice job you've done there! i've been trying it for myself, and i used some birchwood for the drill as well as the board. is this type of wood good enough to use with this method or do you prefer other types? also i'd really like to know what kind of string you use. i've tried different types but they all snapped or didnt got enough grip on the drill. so please help me out so i can learn this awesome method of firemaking.
greetings from a beginning bushcrafter,
Rik
1 question:
i've seen all in several sources that the best way to use the bow drill method is to use a spinel and board from the same type of you, but (i think it was you) on you tube mection a diferent wood type from the board.
so, from your experience what do you say it's better 2 types or one type.
and if so what wood types you would consider the best.
thanks for saharing this wonderfull site
