When we think of cannabis, we\u2019re usually inclined to think first of the recreational uses of the plant. Almost everyone is aware of cannabis as something you can smoke, vape, or eat in edible form to experience a high. And nowadays, the medical uses of cannabis are nearly as widely known as the recreational ones. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not only can cannabis be beneficial to users who opt to smoke or vape it or consume it in oil form, but topical creams can help with skin conditions and muscle pain. And it can also be made into food and drink, <\/span>as in the case of hemp milk<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>But even these are far from the only uses for the cannabis plant. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hemp is useful in many ways<\/span><\/a> that don\u2019t even involve direct consumption by human beings. For example, using <\/span>hemp as animal feed<\/span><\/a> has been shown to lead to healthier chicken eggs and healthier meat products. <\/span>Hemp can be used in textile production<\/span><\/a>\u2014in fact, it\u2019s believed that hemp might be the very first fiber ancient humans used to make clothing. It can be <\/span>turned into concrete<\/span><\/a> and used to help build homes. And even in the auto industry, hemp is useful, <\/span>both as a building material and as a potential source of fuel<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Given all of that, one can hardly claim to be surprised when a new use for hemp appears. And yet, this versatile plant continues to impress with a new product we discovered called HempWood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deriving Wood From Hemp<\/strong><\/h2>\n

HempWood is made of compressed fibers from the hemp plant held together with a soy-based glue. Stronger than that description makes it sound, HempWood looks and feels like oak but is actually 20 percent harder. What\u2019s more, it can be produced at a significantly faster rate\u2014an almost astonishingly faster rate. It takes an oak tree around 60 years to mature, but a hemp plant is mature and ready to harvest in six months.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Greg Wilson, owner of the HempWood<\/a> company, comes from a history in the bamboo flooring industry and has drawn on experience with the techniques used there\u2014specifically, the way strand-woven bamboo floors are much harder and more durable thanks to the way they\u2019re made. H<\/span>eadquartered in the state of Kentucky, the HempWood company already has big aspirations for its product. In addition to flooring, they plan to use it to manufacture such products as blocks, boards, cutting boards, and even skateboards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Choose HempWood?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve already addressed the marvelous strength of wood made from hemp, but that\u2019s only one of the many reasons to opt for wood derived from the hemp plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most powerful reason is that it\u2019s eco-friendly. The demand for oak furniture and flooring has created a real deforestation problem, and the more people switch to hemp for their wood solutions, the better we\u2019ll be able to replenish our forests. As previously mentioned, the hemp plant reaches maturity much more quickly than an oak tree does, which means that even after it\u2019s harvested, it\u2019s highly renewable. Hemp is not a resource we need to worry about over-harvesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why many of those who are concerned about taking active steps to protect the environment are already making the switch to hemp-derived wood instead of oak or other wood products. It\u2019s one of the primary reasons the HempWood company exists in the first place\u2014to provide people with this option and to help protect one of the Earth\u2019s dwindling natural resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

For your next wood project\u2014whether it\u2019s framing a picture or replacing a floor\u2014look into HempWood as an option. You may find it\u2019s the best choice for what you\u2019re trying to accomplish. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
