Rustic Pine Shanty

Rustic Pine Shanty Robinett Homestead (Rustic Pine Shanty). Built using a ancient technique called cordwood masonry construction. Located in the Ozark foot hills of Missouri.

Cordwood masonry, sometimes called "stackwall" or "stovewood" is a form of construction that consists of laying whole or split wood, width-wise in a bed of mortar. The wood actually rests on two mortar beds that are each about 4" thick - one mortar bed is the outside of the wall and the other bed is the inside wall. In between each bed of mortar, insulation in the form of lime treated sawdust or

other insulative materials fill in any empty space between the logs and mortar. The thickness of the wall is determined by the length of the cordwood used. Typically, walls are anywhere from 6" to 24" thick depending upon the builder's need for energy efficiency.
