Link below might be of some interest, I have done some work using course
sawdust and sand and cement mix, important to dampen the sawdust before
mixing so it does not draw the moisture out of the mix and inhibits the
curing, Might also want to add a plasticizer  to get more detail, and
improve the casting detail.
