If only I had the time! Here I am wanting to work on an ultimate tinder, explore ways of putting a drill end on a spliced hand drill without cordage or glue, and possible barks for bowdrill string...................., and I will probably take 3-6 months to progress them.

Don't give up the day job............

I have used Clematis, Cedar and Lime as cordage for the bowdrill (using the egyptian method). All work well.

Intrigued with the spliced hand drill. Spliced as in 'split' with flint or bone in the spliced tip?

How about Pine Pitch (more a filler than a glue)? All natural. It may hold.

Cheers
