Witness the interplay of earth, water, and straw to create in-fill walls for a hand-crafted timber frame structure. This is a continuation of our timber framing video, in a similar style, watch here - https://youtu.be/Z8Lj5n2_7I4 Stone, clay, bamboo and straw are combined to create beautifully finished walls. Many hands come together, to gather stones, make adobes, mix cob, harvest bamboo to build natural walls that are durable and breathable. Multiple methods of cob, adobe blocks and wattle & daub are combined to create a unique mix of artistic textures and lines. Witness as walls are made smooth with clay plaster and decorated with simple relief designs, and even metal doors made from scratch as the metal wood shop takes final form.
