<P> To insert wattles in a square panel several steps are required . First, a series of evenly spaced holes are drilled along the middle of the inner face of each upper timber . Next, a continuous groove is cut along the middle of each inner face of the lower timber in each panel . Vertical slender timbers, known as staves, are then inserted and these hold the whole panel within the timber frame . The staves are positioned into the holes and then sprung into the grooves . They must be placed with sufficient gaps to weave the flexible horizontal wattles . </P> <P> In some places or cultures, the technique of wattle and daub were used with different materials thus has different names, including pug and pine, mud and stud (stud and mud), hourdis, rab (rad) and dab, pierrotage / bousillage (bouzillage) and columage . Bajarreque and jacal are examples of structure built with the technique of wattle and daub . </P> <P> In the early days of the colonisation of South Australia, in areas where substantial timber was unavailable, pioneers' cottages and other small buildings were frequently constructed with light vertical timbers, which may have been "native pine" (Callitris or Casuarina spp .), driven into the ground, the gaps being stopped with pug (kneaded clay and grass mixture). Another term for this construction is palisade and pug . </P> <P> "Mud and stud" is a similar process to wattle and daub, with a simple frame consisting only of upright studs joined by cross rails at the tops and bottoms . Thin staves of ash were attached, then daubed with a mixture of mud, straw, hair and dung . The style of building was once common in Lincolnshire . </P>
