I’m hoping Hanneke can get to read the Royal Society of Chemistry Article the New Wizzards of wood. Chemically modified wood rot proof and once modified it is potentially as strong as steel. It’s perfect for ply construction.
The other materials of interest are flax and basalt fibres possibly also organic epoxies as greener, stronger tougher alternatives to glass fibre and carbon in some cases.
Look up the French Windelo for info on basalt but it highly abrasion resistant and ballistically impressive … being natural rock it has impressive other properties and is none toxic or hazardous and easy to work without itching or health risks. It’s stable against acids and alkalis and very good at resisting temp extremes, it insulates and prevents bacteria fungi etc it also it also resists osmosis vibration UV and noise. See a guy called the Basalt Guru.
Best wishes and thanks 🧙‍♂️🇬🇧Clive
