A cedar cone. Lots of them about at the moment. Can be a bit sticky, but they smell nice.
They have a tendency to fall apart. That's ok, because the bits burn once you have a fire, and they smell nice.
What you are left with looks like this. Wait a minute, that looks useful...
The scales at the bottom tend to be more strongly attached, but can still be peeled off by hand Leaves you with this:
A pointy thing . Now, surely us bushcrafters can find a use for a pointy thing that you can find in the field. 2-3 inches long, and straightish. I've sanded a couple down, and used one as a cloak pin.
Any other ideas?
Oh yes, and they smell nice
