Great job!

does the baseboard have to be softer wood then the spindle?
-
Super like! All action an no stupid boring talk. And you didn't show your face like in a quality adult film.

Castaway ftw!

a good way to speed up the process is to get a hard dence wood stick bite it and put pressure on the top of the drill stick works like a charm :)

Use your own spit fella and eat the honey. No need to waste it. ;)

@APBiologyNerd pithy materials require less effort. Great that you hand drilled with willow and cottonwood. These items are great for bow and drill, but when using for hand drill require a bit more patience. IMO

@catman529outdoors when using a pithy material, it is the drill which provides char dust as well as the fireboard. Heat and friction causes both to break down

The base board is cottonwood. The spindle is golden rod - a common weed. I use these materials because they are common where I live and work well together. Many other wood combinations work but you have to experiment to find out which ones work quickly.
One secret to the technique is constant and significant downward pressure while rotating the spindle. If you are having difficulty with this try just a tiny bit of honey on your hands.
