Stephen,

We’re working on that at the moment, and I’ll keep you updated. You may have found these online resources already, but they are a good place to start in the meantime:
strawbale.com, an informational site that includes video clips.
A.C. Morrison Construction in Jacksonville, Oregon, which specializes in straw bale building.
The Last Straw, the International Journal of Straw Bale and Natural Building.
The California Straw Building Association includes information on an upcoming conference in Petaluma, CA scheduled for spring 2007.

Thanks for watching,
Kevin

Thanks for taking the time to look into this,
