Hi Larry
I've heard that term used for building construction. This barn was built 
by and for my great Uncle about 1905 so it has stood up well.
Poplar logs stood vertical. Those end walls had a layer of thin willows 
nailed diagonally to help tie them together and a layer of
almost like stucco or cement applied over that. Quite amazing to have 
endured our harsh climate in Sask. built of all local material.
