Rob Roy 2003 Cordwood masonry is an ancient technique where walls are constructed of short logs. "Log ends" are laid transversely in the wall (the same way as firewood is stacked). There are examples (with photographs) of cordwood buildings from all over the world, including Wales, Chile and Sweden. This well illustrated book will inspire designers and help owner-builders decide whether cordwood masonry is appropriate for their building plans. Within the examples shown it explains the variety of ways of building with this product, from using paper-enhanced mortar, cob or

stone. Beautiful houses can be built to virtually any shape and some can have bottles incorporated to let in natural light (there are some lovely photos to show examples of this). An interesting inspirational book. 240pp
