Cob info

[Marna Hauk]

Just wanted to mention another resource on cob construction, which is a
book hot off the press called THE COB BUILDER's HANDBOOK: You can
Hand-Sculpt Your Own Home, by Becky Bee. It is available through
Groundworks, PO Box 381, Murphy, Oregon 97533, Cost is 19.95 plus $4
shipping  in the US I do believe. Becky's web site  address:
http://www.cpros.com/~sequoia

It is fantastic how much information is becoming available!

Also, I edit a quarterly called CIRCLE ROUND, a publication of the Women's
Natural Building Network (subs $10-15/year)--you can email me or snail
mail for subscription info. CobNet is an online picture gallery of natural
building, and provides links to cob and other nat-building resources at
the web address below. 

Hope this is of help to the mad mudders all about. 
Cob blessings!
