This is an easy to use traditional hand crafted fire bow drill set, an ideal gift for the adventurous!

The bow drill is a simple, traditional tool used to start a fire without matches or any other form of artificial fire. There are five parts to a bow drill: the bow, the bowstring, the handle, the drill, and the fireboard (See picture). Each part of the tool has been carefully selected and hand-carved out of various hard/softwoods coming complete with simple step-by-step instructions. (You will have a fire going in no time!!)

The concept of the bow drill is simple. A stringed-bow is used to rotate the drill 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 in the fireboard ready to ignite the tinder. When enough of the wood powder or "char" falls upon the tinder, it will begin to smoke. At this point, ease the smoking char into the bundle of dried tinder and gently blow until the thick smoke bursts into a flame....easy as that!
