HEMPWOOD®

HempWood® is an engineered hardwood product. Developed by CEO Greg Wilson, HempWood is made through a process of adhesion, compression, and baking.

First, full-length fiber hemp stalks are sub- merged in an all-natural soy-based adhesive. After saturation, the hemp stalks are spread evenly on racks and placed into a dryer to lower the moisture content.

After drying, the stalks are weighed into portions. The portions of hemp stalks are then compressed under 3,000 tons of pressure into 5.5 x 5.5 x 72” steel molds.

After pressing the dried hemp into the molds, the blocks are baked until the catalyst in the glue is activated, which makes the HempWood Blocks solid.

From the blocks, HempWood® lumber, flooring, panels, woodturning blanks, picture frames, tables, and cabinets can be made.Currently HempWood is only suited for interior applications.

HempWood uses Carb 2 compliant bonding agents to turn hemp fibers into a viable wood substitute. Its stability is 20% greater than solid oakm and it if formaldehyde tree.
