Cob: Barn conversion

I'm considering converting my barn to a home using cob walls on the interior of the existing exterior barn walls.  Is this a stupid idea?
The barn is somewhat old, but the structural beams appear to be in good shape.  Would there be a problem with placing the cob right next to the wood?
Maybe cob is not the way to go, I just want to use natural materials.  Some other method may be more insulative, as well.
I would appreciate any ideas.
thx,
Zon from Kansas
