There's been at least one--a friend of Charmaine Taylor--although she may
have used hemp oil, don't know if we ever got pictures or complete details.
Some of the others have turned out to be rumors. Or made with a fairly high
percentage of concrete or asphalt emulsion--aka "stabilized earth". Nothing
particularly wrong with that under the circumstances, mind you.
Gernot Minke has a sink in his house--written up in a past issue of Natural
Home. Again, don't know if it was stabilized earth or not.
In the interests of lower maintenance, I may go with used cast iron.
There's a place that seems to refinish them up in the next county.
