Yep, I am following Domegaia and aircrete progress.  Lots of potential.  I am awaiting domegaias first set of engineer stamped and permittable plans.

Why not use palm tree trunks instead of imported doug fir?  foxtail, for instance.  

You can easily grow them in puna.  They are straighter than a coconut palm and have good height.  They would make a good Aframe structure.  You could bind them together with polypropolene cord which is rot resistant.  

This would look very polynesian.
