RE: A summer of building a cordwood cabin! Part 3
I sure will do, I gotta research this thing! It seems improbable for the mortar to deprive the wood of oxygen, seeing that the most permeable part - the cross section - is exposed on both sides. Where's that moisture gonna go? Would it be sucked up by the mortar (that would be structurally bad)? Do you pressure treat the wood prior to building with it?
