Thanks Glis Glis. Everyone is different. I started out with a piece of cherry firewood that my now passed wood working uncle had saved. My cousin gave it to me.
I split it into kindling sized pieces. The splits follow the grain and make each one different and give them character.
I used an angle grinder with a floppy sanding disk to give them the crude shape and then use my hand tools to finish them.
A little char from my propane torch and then sanding with Emory cloth for the color.
Everything is natural. Wood, pitch glue and sinew.
