for u firebow users what do u use for the bearing block
The Boy Scouts liked Red Oak for the Spindle and block [hmm]
i thought the spindle n fire board had to be a soft wood
I looked around pretty hard for about six months and found a rock with an indent in it that would hold the spindle. Megwetch, Sinnanatha
I use a piece of antler that the rats did not get completely chewed up

No, one should be hard, the other soft. I use a block of soapstone.
