How does it work?

The concept of the bow drill is simple. A stringed bow is used to rotate the dril while it rests on the notched fireboard. The pressure and friction created by the quickly moving drill produces heat. A glowing char will be produced after continous drilling, collecting in the notch of the fireboard. At this point, the char must be transferred to a tinder bundle. It is then blown into a flame.

Designed and made using recycled materials wherever possible.
