clay board

[piper]

Does anyone have any experience of using clay board, as supplied by Womersley's, and no doubt others? I'm thinking of using it for a new internal stud partition, with a skim of lime plaster.

Suprisingly no one seems to have!

So - has nobody got any experience or opinions on this stuff?

There's been quite a lot about clayboard here not too long ago. Have you tried the Search facility?

Talk to Mark Womersley - he's a good bloke.

Thanks for those replies. I had a look - the main objection seems to be price.
Incidentally, sawn oak laths seem to have disappeared from Womersleys and Ty Mawr's website - only riven now. Has one of the two old men who used to operate the authentic period sawpit deep in the oak wood died?
