Sage Mountain Workshop
Glenna, having a go at the plaster trowel. We had a great experience and owe a great deal to the wonderful folks at Sage Mountain. I hope to take their cord wood building class sometime.
Chris sharing tales about Tilting Tree.
Tilting Tree was the first straw bale project on Sage Mountain. It was used as a residence while they were building the main learning center and current residence of Chris and Linda.
The BIG place; Home, class room, and yoga studio.
Built by cool people with a purpose in life.
Interior detail
The main structure is a combination of straw bale and cord wood construction. I found this very attractive and inviting.
Cord wood, exterior wall. COOL!
I'll bet those dormers were a bear.
