firesticks

Primitive fire tools

Firesticks are sticks used for making fire by friction, typically a pointed stick spun rapidly against another piece of wood.

The word also refers to fire-spinning props—wicks on poles that performers ignite and twirl.

In Australia, firestick farming describes Aboriginal land management using controlled burns.
