Hi Toni,
Good to see you again. I do have a book about cordwood construction, How 
to Build Log-End Houses, by Robert L. Roy (and a few others by Rob). 
You're right, they are beautiful houses. I'd love to see some photos of 
your friend's place. Maybe at Yahoo Photos like Bev did? Or even one 
sent P-mail.
