This site looks interesting. Though it's not directly involved with cob,
it has things which cobbers might still be able to use:
http://www.timberframemag.com/
This is Goshen Timberframes, located in North Carolina. They give free
workshops in how to do traditional timber framing.
http://www.timberframemag.com/strawbale.htm
... is their site on strawbale construction (which of course some cobbers
have used in conjunction with cob). It has a very interesting section
(http://www.timberframemag.com/strawbale.htm#AGRIBOARD) about Agriboard, a
3.5" thick fiberboard made from agricultural byproducts, i.e. straw etc.
The manufacturing process uses heat and pressure, no chemicals.
