That was very nicely done and very well taught. I am wondering why you did not use the other half round of ratan as the fire board? Do the sharp corners provide greater friction and therefore prevent burnishing or do you just prefer this method? It also seems as though the sharp corners would facilitate braking of the thong strap. Either way, that was a beautiful demonstration of an almost lost technique and I thank you for helping people by showing it in a clear, concise manner.

Sure you could use the other half of the rattan. It's just that it is expensive, and you would sacrifice it as thong material. I've gotten a center section out of the rattan to use as a hearth but lost some of the outer material, so I've decided it is cost effective to use other wood. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the sharp corners. If you mean on the fire board, I cut notches in the corners to keep the thong from sliding around but as soon as it burns in there's no issue.
