Congrats!! I did the same only a couple of days ago you'll be buzzing for days.
Well done, great feeling isn't it?
Fantastic stuff mate, it's something you'll never forget. Keep it up and do it as often as possible, then move on to different woods and start experimenting, it won't just teach you about lighting fires but about the woods and the environment etc
well done ;)

Well Done Adam. The board was seasoned Pine and it was the same board I go my first coal with so it's a lucky one. I will be keeping it for prosperity.
We will have to find some better tinder do.
Again well done and glad to help.

What's lebernaum? couldn't find it on Google.

I am not sure but I think he may of meant Laburnum, never tried it for fire by friction so I dont know if it will work or not, but I would be interested to find out :)
Congratulations on getting fire mate :D
