    Welcome to "The Making of a                        Cob Bench" web site.  I'm Jessica

    Rendon, a Junior at Humboldt State University, and this is my

    ENGR 305 class project.  I hope that this web site will provide you

    with a look into part of the process of making a cob bench, as well 

    as information about what cob is, its history, and some fun facts. 

    Please use the links on the left to go the various pages.  Enjoy!

"I believe that building with cob is a way to recreate community and experience

 the joy of working together while taking back the right to build our own homes

and look after our Mother Earth.  - Becky Bee
