[Strawbale] Re: window seats

[Frank Tettemer]

Leanne,

Here's an interior photo showing window benches.  Small part of an 
interior photo, the benches rap around  a wall and under a curved  
window, in the upper photo on this page, left hand side of the photo.

These were very dense bales, four of them, added to the 
under-window-bales that were there anyways.  Creates about eight feet or 
more of bench.  The owners' now have cushions, and  since the bales were 
special cut for the job, to thirteen inches *before* plastering, the 
height is just right. 

Constructed and bound tightly with Cinteflex nylon plastering mesh, and 
covered with three coats, of specially cement-ie and lime plaster, mesh 
was also placed inside of second coat, to reinforce.  Total thickness, 
about 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
