A few more photos of the cob wall. I'm finished with all the major mudding. The darker areas are still drying. Only major work left to do is some trimming, fill a few cracks, and then the finish plaster. Still working on getting a decent mix for the finish plaster and right now I'm using a hatchet to chop up the straw. I tried the weed-eater in a bucket method but it didn't work too well. Need to find a better method or a different material because the hand-chopping is too tedious.
