Hemp has been used for thousands of years for many purposes, including rope, nets, and cloth or canvas, but today, for the first time, an innovative company with a big idea is making wood from Hemp. They are aptly named Hempwood and offer several products, including dimensional lumber, flooring, turning blanks, furniture and more. In this video I explain how they turn this plant into lumber and show you how it works.
Here are some links to the Hempwood Website where you can get samples of buy their products:

Basically it's fine fiber OSB. Doesn't look bad in the rift sawn pattern. I'd use it in dry areas. I'm sure the hardness comes from the glue, not the fibers.

@christopherlee5584 5 дней назад

Don't be too sure..... hemp fiber is incredibly strong and durable.

@ST-0311 5 дней назад

@@christopherlee5584 Yes. It's strong and durable. Hemp makes rope. If it were hard it wouldn't bend. Nylon is also strong and durable. That doesn't make it hard.

@MattWeber 4 дня назад

There is actually very little glue used. Much like creating bamboo veneers, the fibers want to heat bind together under high pressure like he shows used. Like he also said, its more of a durability issue once becomes moisture saturated in comparison to a solid wood though. In bamboos you usually only see the glue used when creating laminate glue ups for bamboo plywood production, so I would assume the same if want to make hemp plywood.

I like the rift cut better, the face sawn looks more like particle wood. I think it would make for great flooring but they need to keep the price affordable if they want to make good money for it. I would absolutely use hemp wood if I had some. I have recently gotten into woodworking and plan on being on RU-vid myself. I also used to be a stoner until my body turned against me and I can't smoke it anymore. They have crossbred it so much that I have anxiety type episodes from it or I would still definitely be a stoner lol. Seriously though I think it's great to see a viable replacement for wood because eventually we could have a shortage and this would definitely prevent that from occurring. Great job and love the content, keep doing you and stay safe. Happy Building 😁

@danielhanawalt4998 2 дня назад

I've heard of all kinds of things hemp can be used for. Amazing plant, especially how fast it grows. I'd definitely try out hemp wood. Like any new product the technology would get better with time and someone would figure out a way to make hemp wood in various densities that would mimic trees. And better saw blades to hold up better against the hardness. Or sharpen your blades a little more often. I saw a video awhile back about hemp crete for building. Said it's very fire resistant. One took a torch to it and could barely burn a hole and it still didn't catch fire. That'd also be worth considering.

@stormagorist6129 5 дней назад

I definitely would try it out. Looks like it has great potential for stains and other finishes.

@comfortablynumb9342 5 дней назад

Hempcrete is another great way to build using hemp. The blocks are fireproof even with a torch blasting them. Walls made of hempcrete don't need insulation. So with exterior walls of hempcrete and interior walls made of hemp wood we could stop using pine and building stick houses that need insulation and burn easily.

@garyjarvis2730 5 дней назад

I'm sure that changing the binder they use could make the product completely waterproof. Once they get to the economy of scale level it could be an attractive alternative to solid wood. It might be a viable alternative to wood framing at some point or useful for sheathing. As a product in it's infancy it has a long development road to success and acceptance. Nice video.

@hempwood2602 День назад

The HempWood journey started in 2003 when our founder was one of the inventors of strand woven bamboo. He got sick from the formaldehyde used so he started working with soy glue, but the bamboo market had already dropped to a Home Depot product where people cared more about price rather than health. Then Hemp became legal in 2014 and Greg filed some patents. We now have sold over a million feet of flooring and growing. You are correct, we need to keep scaling to lower the cost. Thanks for following our journey!

@clinicallyspeaking-themedi5069 День назад

An excellent presentation. Thanks. You're quite right. In wartime, supplies of Jute, Flax and Manilla were cut off. Just in case you're interested, Henry VIIIth issued a decree in 1533 compelling land owners to set aside 1/240th (0.42%) of their tillable land for hemp to ensure an adequate supply for Navy rope production. Elizabeth 1st (his daughter) imposed a £5 fine (equivalent to $1800) on a landowner who refused to grow it It is hardy, easy to grow and economically important enough for new lands to be conquered with the express purpose of hemp cultivation Sown close together (about 10 plants per foot square), the plants grow taller and stronger with less leaf. Hemp is more durable than flax, which makes it more useful for ropes, caulk, fishing net and sail canvas Used extensively on all ships before 1850 Nelson’s fleet, required 200 tonnes of hemp ropes and sail cloth annually HMS Victory alone needed over 60 tons of hemp The word ‘Canvas’ comes from Arabic for hemp (Qanab) Hemp is also used to make fashionable clothing and hempcrete, used as a building material

As a wood how does it take metal fasteners and do screws pull out easy? If the grain only goes one way does it have a weakness to split? This a chicken and egg scenario, as to sell it has to be the same price or cheaper than normal wood or have special properties, and until they get volume will be dearer. Just like other fibre boards chipboard, mdf or osb boards water absorption will be the biggest downfall. I must admit it is very clever and could they do the same thing with wheat stalks/straw?

Just like any product, the cost will continue to be exorbitant the longer it remains controlled by one manufacturer. The reality is the crop is inexpensive to grow and the process isn't all that complex but if its patented then there will be no competitors and they can charge whatever they want for the product. Sure, they may drop the cost of their product over time once they have better equipment and can produce more however it will always be considerably more expensive the longer they are the only manufacturer. The sooner there are multiple vendors and sources for hemp wood the more cost-effective it will be.

Check out the history of hemp in Indiana, this is not the first time hemp has been used as a building material.

It is possible, as it was widely grown.)

I love the look of it, but like you said: it needs to be sealed off properly. How much upkeep would it require if used as flooring? When the lacquer on hardwood flooring is worn down over time you can still wash it without risking completely destroying the material. I expect you would have to keep more on top of maintenance with hemp wood to keep it intact. Depending on how much extra work it requires I would definitely consider it an option as it is absolutely beautiful.

@OddBall1958 4 дня назад

So how will it compare to Timber Strand lumber for framing? My thought is that the price is going to have to drastically drop to make it affordable. Hence, a 2 x 4 x 8 is about $4.00 +/- where I am in Colorado. When it comes within reach I'll be giving it a try. Thanks for the great info and letting us be aware of a new product.

@user-ys4ce8si3x 5 дней назад

It looks interesting, but I am curious as to its working qualities. Others have asked about how it takes fasteners and glue. I'd also like to know how it works - is it stringy, like Poplar can be, or does it fuzz out like MDF? How does it turn? I would imagine that with the right formulation it would take paint well. Not sure I'd want to take a plane to it. But given the ever-increasing costs of hardwood (have you priced Walnut lately??), it's something to consider where we can.

@alfabsc 5 дней назад

So it is OSB made from hemp stalks. I get it. What I don't get is why I would make a floor out of this material that will "delaminate" from water? OSB, MDF, particle board all depend on the adhesive. The wrong adhesive, and it falls apart. I'll wait for water resistant boards.

@wagnersouza4463 День назад

Looks like OSB. Could be used as MDF or MDP in furniture, and because of the velocity of growth, could be cheapper than any wood. It have a great potential in poor countreis that wood is pretty expensive. Here in Brazil probably would be used like MDF finished with some veneer or formica.

@EcoMouseChannel 5 дней назад

They need to infuse it with resin to make it more durable. The market needs a sustainable wood product that can outlast and outperform traditional lumber. With the right phenolic resins, the product can be fire resistant, and certainly water proof. Weirdly enough... hemp itself can in fact be crafted into it's own resin like glue binding agent. I think that comes from the seeds.

If you scroll back, in the video, right about @12:20, you can get a good look at the layout of the stalks and fibers. Chip board and particle board are chunks (chips) or saw dust pressed together. so, their length to strength ratio is pretty low. The hemp boards have long fibers, just like a regular board and so would be stronger. But potting chips into the mix would be like inserting knots into the boards. The chips would interrupt the long fibers, just like a knot and create a weak spot, just like a knot, compromising the strength of the board. 😁✌🖖

It does have potential - it is a shame that industrial hemp was politicized and put in the same bin as marijuana. It is funny that when fighting a war -- then it was fine to grow. I have used industrial hemp for strengthening plaster splash casts for developing tooling and molds. In this refined state it is a very nice to work with -- much like the mane and tail hair of a horse. The down side I see at this point is that processing hemp is very labor intensive and thus expensive. Fibers seem limited on the retail side. Sissel a (stand-in for hemp from South America) a 37 lb bale goes for $350 retail from a US art supply company. There is an supposition that states: You don't have an industry until there are three major players. I am wondering who the others are in this nascent market. It would take massive scaling to achieve comparable pricing with dimensional lumber. Maybe another decade or two.

Maybe consider pressing more custom shapes, play to the unique quality of hemp as a formable semi engineered product rather than compete with established wood products. We would like to see glue, finishing, mortising drill and screws, and strength trials. Interesting product.
