I am having issues with my bow drill. I can get smoke for days on end, but no ember. I am using a cedar fire board and a cedar spindle. I use steady pressure and motion on the bow, and speed up when the smoke really gets going. I get alot of dust in the notch and just a spec of black dust on top, almost like it's trying to become an ember. Any help would be great, thanks in advance.
