this reminded me of Pykrete [0].
basically someone figured out the right ratio of water to sawdust for a frozen block of ice, and it creates a very durable and tough material similar to concrete (as long as it remains at or below freezing).
the british planned to make an aircraft carrier [1] out of the stuff, but it was ultimately deemed too expensive.
