Seeking Builders with Balecob Information and Experience!

By Wabi-sabi Kitchen, Bale Cob

The design for the kitchen is coming together bit by bit. Thomas and I have recently touched upon wall systems in our dicussions, and I expressed my interest in doing the west and north walls of the kitchen in balecob style.

There are but two printed resources for balecob building, both of which are short articles in the Cob Web, which is published by the Cob Cottage Company. The bale cob building technique seems pretty clearcut to me, but I’d love to hear from natural builders who have worked with bale cob and can speak to their experiences with the technique!

If you have bale cob information and experience, please comment on this website! I’d love to hear folks’ opinions on the matter.
