Cob: horse hairBrad Calvert bradcalv at netspace.net.auFri Mar 28 22:02:43 CST 2003
>So one day they came to a reciept for horse hair. Does anyone know how enough horse hair to mix with mud for an entire house was harvested? Was straw also mixed into the mud? Was it mane hair and tail hair? Or just tail hair? How many horse tails would be needed per cubic foot of cob? How fast does horse tail hair grow back? Maybe there is an archaeological project here, DNA analysis of horse hair to see if it came from a hundred horses or just a few... Does anyone know if horse hair is still commercially available for furniture manufacture? Is it used for violin bows? Brad Calvert Melbourne, Australia
