Some useful info regards the fire bows

[MikeWilkinson]

Thought many of you may find this interesting, its a useful table of which woods work best on each other for bow drilling.

It is american based so you may need to research the european/uk version of some of the names - for example - Basswood = Lime. Cottonwoods = Poplars.

Thanks Mike and just what I've been looking for. I want to make my own from scratch in the spring so this is really useful place to start.
