Cordwood building is practical where there’s sufficient supply of rot resistant wood. Most areas don’t have an adequate supply of wood like this available, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative and use cordwood in small areas. If all the walls are plastered, it gets a little boring. Cordwood, stone and bottles add some nice contrast. The photos above show a few examples of what’s possible. Details like this cost next to nothing.
