You've got mad Bow Drill Skills, enough to make great billows of smoke boil up out of your set, but... the ember NEVER comes. You're probably choosing the wrong woods.
1) How long has it been since it has rained? 5 days and longer can really dry out wood.
2) What's the humidity like today? and how has it been since it has stopped raining?
3) Are you familiar with this species? Used it before? Heard that it's good for Bow Drill?
4) Was the branch off the ground when you found it?
5) Has the bark fallen off?
6) Has it been exposed to the drying elements of sun and wind?
7) Is it well degraded from years of weathering since being broken off the living tree?
8) Is there a long enough and straight enough piece on the branch to make a spindle?
