Cordwood
Workweek - The Cordwood Workweek combines all of the features
of of the three-day Cordwood Workshop and the One-day Earthwood Techniques
workshop, but there is more time for individual hands-on instruction
and consultations. The discussions and site work are more detailed,
yet the pace is more relaxed. After lunch on Wednesday, for example,
we tour the Mushwood Cottage at Chateaugay Lake and a post-and beam
cordwood home, then relax with swimming, hot-tubbing, conversation,
and consultation on the deck at Earthwood. The workshop project will
be work at a neighbor's new cordwood home. This is our best cordwood
workshop of the year. |
