Wattle and daub is possibly one of the oldest building methods in the world. Sticks (wattle) and clay or earth (daub) have long been used to fill in the gaps in the wooden framework to keep out wind and rain, the cold in winter, and the heat during the summer. Wattle and daub can be seen today as in-fill panels between the timbers of ancient timber-framed buildings throughout Britain.

Only four stars for this little Shire's book as the text is abit repetative, not a good idea at the best of times, more so when space is limited. Perhas there is not much to say about the making of daub but, in which case, I would have liked more exampls. All in all, this book does just as one would expect from a Shire's book and I am glad to have it, I just feel it fell just that bit short of expectations.

I love this little book and am pleased to have it. I'll be using it to create some wattle and daub on my weekender here in Australia - it was really difficult to find information on how to w/daub and this book illustrates the old method clearly and concisely.

In this book the history of wattle and daub and some reconstructions are covered but more importantly Paula Sunshine shows a step by step construction of a Wattle and Daub wall!
