Friction Fire Bowdrill Kit
Note: All woods are carefully selected, seasoned and pre-tested by myself – and are hand crafted with tlc (sometimes it is hard to part). I only use naturally harvested rounds, no planks or off-cuts. These are the real deal – they are beautiful – and they work!
Give me a call – get your orders in for Christmas now.

Please note, each fire kit is made to order, using woods I have gathered sustainably on my wanderings.
