[Cob] cordwood

Since my cob project is coming along at record slow speed, i thought  
of finishing it this spring with cordwood. The wall is between knee  
and waist height now. I don't see it looking funny because I've been  
incorporating big rocks that jut from the wall. I'll still be mixing  
some cob, but believe the construction will go much faster. Plus I  
assume I'd get better insulation value from the foot thick wood  
rounds. I'm still going to have all cob and windows on the east and  
south sides, but cordwood for the other two. It seems simple enough,  
but just in case it's completely the wrong thing to do, someone  
please let me know.
