This idea came from a good carving friend in England Jon Mac he's a hell of a talented wood carver and all around nice guy. Thought some here would find this of interest

thats damned clever!! I've heard of using embers to burn out a bowl but never thought of doing that! seems so obvious now!
I could of thought of that if all my brain cells were still working lol

Neat idea and so simple
Campfires are best shared with friends.
Not a bad idea at all !
Initially prehistoric guys used the pump drill to dig holes into wood.
The nice idea here, was to increase the surface of friction.
Of course, doing it with a large piece of quartz was nearly impossible, so using a piece of wood as we do for bow friction was a nice idea. And apparently efficient !
(Moreover, I think that during the past people first use the pump drill, and one day, used wooden drill against a wooden board.
After several try, the noticed something have burned and the hole was hot. So by other tries they improve this skills and eventually found the way of making fire by friction.)
I think he doesn't drill the hole in one step. I think he drill a satisfactory depression and then, make little cuts by the exterior of the spoon.
Because the wood could be too much weakened and may broke.
English isn't my mother tongue so pliz correct me if i'm wrong, thx !

I like his carving knife

They look great Jacob, are they hard to operate? Not specifically these ones, but the design in general.
