About this product

Product Information

Cordwood masonry is an ancient building technique whereby walls are constructed from "log ends" laid transversely in the wall. It is easy, economical, aesthetically striking, energy-efficient, and environmentally sound. Cordwood Building collects the wisdom of more than 25 of the world's best practitioners, detailing the long history of the method, and demonstrating how to build a cordwood home using the latest and most up-to-date techniques, with a special focus on building code issues. Author/editor Rob Roy has been building, researching, and teaching about cordwood masonry for 25 years and, with his wife, started Earthwood Building School in 1981. He has written 10 books on alternative building, presented four videos--including two about cordwood masonry--and has taught cordwood masonry all over the world.

Cordwood Building 2003
My husband and I cut the logs done this past winter and plan on building a corwood cabin this winter 2007. This book will be our main guide. We have looked over many books on cordwood contruction and this one seems to be the best fir for us. It has some much useful information and the pictures and diagrams are helpful.

Building with cordwood
Don't buy this book unless you really plan on building a structure because this book will make you want to go out and try it! The pictures are beautiful and there's lots of information on the structural and insulative qualities of cordwood. I'm waiting for spring to build my first one!
