[Cob] tree poles for cold climate insulation

[Amanda Peck]

not a bad idea, no cold-conducting metal inside the building, I had thought 
about it as I wrote that.  How are you seeing the pegs?  As hand carved the 
way a Windsor Chair back is carved, just whittled or with a spoke-shave, 
store-bought dowels, or turned by us on a lathe?  The last might take the 
most skill, least time.  Wouldn't have to be motorized or even very big for 
a lathe.

   screws are pretty expensive, but they come in lengths between 4" and 12"
   long.  They also put a metal, cold-conducting bridge into your walls, as
   does rebar.
