Fire Starter Hearth Board on Natural Ground
A detailed close-up depiction of a traditional hearth board for a bow drill fire-starting kit. The board, crafted from smooth cedar or cottonwood measuring 6-10 inches long, 1-2 inches wide, and 1/2 to 1 inch thick, has a lightly weathered texture. It features a round depression and a V-shaped notch designed to direct airflow, with subtle signs of previous use like light charring. The board lies on a simple, textured background, such as packed earth or sand.
