[Cob] Cob used as masonry in cordwood

[Amanda Peck]

I did a search on Ianto Smiley Rob Roy and didn't find the thread on the 
first page.  But this did come up quickly, from a 2001 issue of Countryside 
Magazine, in which cob-wood is used by SOME--not all--of the people involved 
to refer to cob + cordwood.  Unlike (at least one of the people,) Charmaine 
Taylor, who may have invented the word.  If you leave Smiley out of the 
search you end up with a band called the Night Terrors that has a Rob Roy 
and and Ianto in it.  Sometimes Google is wonderful.  Especially if you put 
it as a permanent line in your browser.

Herb Jones wants to know (snipped)

I am new to this list and have searched the archives for references to cob 
being used in place of cement masonry in cordwood construction. Someone 
suggested there had been some discussion on this topic.
