[papercreters] Re: Simplicity

Spaceman,

Have you ever experimented with adding raw sawdust to PC mix? The reason I ask is I also read a Cordwood list as well. Now some members on there work with a PC like mix heavy in cement/lime. Also common is that they add sawdust to their mixes. They do not report shrinkage issues. (Would be rather important in a cordwood structure. :)

Thoughts? Thx.
