Fantastic stuff mate, it's something you'll never forget. Keep it up and do it as often as possible, then move on to different woods and start experimenting, it won't just teach you about lighting fires but about the woods and the environment etc

well done ;)

Well Done Adam. The board was seasoned Pine and it was the same board I go my first coal with so it's a lucky one. I will be keeping it for prosperity.

We will have to find some better tinder do.

Again well done and glad to help.
