Interesting ideaz ... just make sure the sawdust isn't derived from MDF/MDS/treated-pine, etc ...

Towling panels ? --- yeah I like this... as long as the colour is the same as the trousers... abit gay otherwise...maybe attach with 4corner velcro tabs for easy-regular-cleaning ...but anyway, I think Edward Frillypants has already got the patent on this..............................snigger...
