Cottonwood Fire Board or Hearth Board 

Primitive Friction Fire!

Hand harvested, hand processed and handcrafted!

Low ignition point!

These fire boards are harvested and made from already downed cottonwood trees. They are sun dried and processed by hand. They won’t be exactly the same length or width since they are hand processed. Some maybe shorter in length and wider and some maybe longer and narrower in width.

Besides Sotol, I’ve found that it’s faster and easier to create an ember using cottonwood because of its low ignition point. Consider yourself both lucky and blessed if you have access to this amazing tree. It is my opinion that besides Sotol, Cottonwood is one of the best woods for ease of creating a coal with the bow drill method.
