Join Bryce and Misty of Ontario Permaculture as they share the techniques and tips they used while preparing a cob sculpted tabletop with first, baked ochre earth paint, then a double boiled linseed oil and beeswax treatment to waterproof and seal the surface. This technique results in a durable, water and moisture resistant, sealed earthen surface, which could be used for many potential applications, including even sinks and tubs, or the potential for human shelter! Bryce also shares some tips on what NOT to do, to help ensure the perfect finish everytime.
