Cob: cob and cordwood

Fri Feb 28 14:08:38 CST 2003

Hello kwest at arkansas.net,

In reference to your comment:

è Or, if one were to build a cob structure with a cordwood
è addition, what would be the proper way to connect the
è two materials without problems due to differing
è shrinkage and settling rates?

I saw once that some people were thinking of using cob between the cords of 
wood, while building a cordwood home. I would be interested in seeing how 
that worked.

Blessed Be Rhie
