Your pine hearth board may have too much resin in it. Pitchy woods will tend to “glaze” the divot once they heat up and then the spindle has a hard time making any more dust.

I still can’t get the ember but I sure do have a nice collection of blisters coming along.

Keep at it.

I really am enjoying your blog.
