Cob Wattle & daub

Fri Jun 12 04:55:04 CDT 1998

This is a little bit off-topic, but over the next year or so I will be
building  a medieval-style papermill (overshot waterwheel; nine-hammer
stampmill).

The building will be approx. 12 ft. X 20 ft X 12 ft. high and will be
timber frame construction with wattle & daub infill.

So far, literature and web searches have not given much in the way of
proportions of clay:sand:elements x:y:z.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience in this area.

Thanks,

Jack
