[Cob] curved concrete!

[Ocean Liff-Anderson]

boy, have we ever...

here's what we did at the restaurant, with pics of how we did it!

1.  built a frame of masonite, well supported with  2x4 bracing and  
stakes every foot or so

2.  kiko then applied a mud-plaster bas relief form on the inside

3. which made for a beautiful surface once concrete was stained with  
ferrous sulphate

as kiko said to me:  "there's enough ugly concrete in the world - if  
you're going to use concrete, at least make it beautiful!"
