Nice kit, I like Emersons too. The Becker is on my want list. How did you stipple the handles?

How'd you get that FAT wood in that little tin?

Bush,
Is there a difference in fatwood from different trees?
The reason I ask, is that I went and got some from an old tree in my area. It smelled the same as yours did, but BIG difference in catching on fire. After about 15 strikes from the Light My Fire steel, the local fatwood dust just was catching fire.
I tried some of the fatwood you sent me, and after making same size pile of fatwood dust, it only took 3 sparks and I had a blaze going.
I'm going with my wife tomorrow on a Valentines day (Sunday) drive to find some more fatwood and try again.
Cheers

i think it depends more on the amount of resin in the wood. if more resin is present then it will catch much easier

Don't forget to look in the roots for fatwood not just the stump
