Dude, you've gotta put out more content! This build turned out awesome! You are super talented and with all the tool options in your shop, it seems you could truly build anything!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you very much!!! I’ve been meaning to creating more videos. Stay tuned for more next year. It all just takes a lot of time. I appreciate the kind words. 👍🏼
So cool, that is a beautiful piece of furniture! I am hoping that hempwood countertops will be a viable product in the coming years. I would use a stain and cover it with clear epoxy to make it truly moisture proof.
I live less than five miles from the factory.I carve this product with an angle grinder using arbortech tools.It is wonderful to work with BUT your tools must be razor sharp,the learninf curve is short and the results are simply amazing.I finish mine with mineral oil and organic (raw filtered only) beeswax for a foodsafe great finish. Thanks for a great video and good to see your son in the shop with you!
That’s awesome! Yes it took a bit to get used to and to see how the material reacts to machining. I love having my kids in the shop although it’s been a while because of growing schedules. Thanks for chiming in! Cheers!
your video was recommended to me by a guy in the shopsmith owners group. I like your build. I have ordered the trial pack from Hempwood and will give it a try.
Justin, I'm going to be in your area this weekend doing some research and reporting on Hempwood and the various uses in building. Would love to hear more about your project and what you are currently working on. Hit me up if you have a few minutes. Thank you GiGi
Hi Gigi. Can you find me on Instagram and private message me there. Or you can email me at justinwoodworks@yahoo.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.
man this channel has so much potential, you've earned me as a subscriber. I enjoy small shop woodworking tips&trics also sustenability, hemp, architecture , design and furniture. Hope it helps and keep up the good work!
Hi Justin, great vid! Super impressed!! More content please :) I’ve been looking into using hempwood for more of my projects and am very familiar with the arm-r-seal finish, but I’m curious what was that little white bottle that gave the wood almost like a whitewash finish? I really liked the contrast and the way it turned out.
Thank you for the kind words!! That whitewashed finish is from Rubio Monocoat. It’s a coloring agent and finish on one step and it’s actually the only finish I use these days on my furniture pieces. Ill put out more content soon!
Hey what was the condition of all your blades when you finished the project? I'm curious how the hardness (glue) of the material affected the sharpness.
Great question. No immediate dulling, But it definitely was a dense material to machine. I’m sure if it was a bigger project, I would have noticed some degradation of the blades
I don’t see why not. This material turns well. You just gotta learn to work with it. I turned the knobs on this nightstand if you’d like to refer to that in the video. Other than that, I’m not sure I would be making a video in regards to using a lathe with Hempwood.
I think some companies out there use it for structural purposes. I know I’ve seen something here on RUclips about it. I just don’t think it’s made from the same company.
man, have always said for years idk why we can just press this shit and make boards. Love the way the grain turns out honestly. This is pretty huge tbh.
I love the product, no issues there- it's quality! But, I was looking through the prices and 1 72" board, 1 inch thick is $40. A 72" block is $180. This is obviously an expensive product to produce. I don't think a builder who is looking to build on the cheaper side can afford this. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Great product though.
I agree with you 100%. I believe the costs should go down as production increases. At least that’s the hope. I’m boat sure how widely it will be used and accepted.
Dylan T this material does not handle moisture and humidity well at all. Even with a durable finish over it, I don’t think I would trust it in moisture prone areas. Other than that, it is a great alternative material to use!
I like the sustainability of hempwood and can see it as a greener replacement for MDF, but the price needs to come WAY down. The "rift grain" version doesn't look to bad but otherwise it looks terrible as furniture. Would be better used as a subsrate for laminating.
Hey there! Hempwood does not fair well with long exposure to water. Oil based stains and products are required on it. Although, I have seen water based stains carefully applied. I would say it’s all about experimenting with what will work and what won’t.
Understandable, however there are two different grain patterns that are available with this HempWood. Rift Sawn and Plain Sawn. The Rift Sawn may be more desirable since the “grain” runs straight and is less chaotic. This pattern is not for everyone and would definitely not be suitable for paint.
That’s quite a description! Lol. They are called Collins Clamps. They work great on delicate miters. If it was something thicker and larger than this, I probably wouldn’t use them. I believe they were meant from trim work.
They will have to improve the process before I'll consider using hempwood. As I've read, it degrades rather quickly in the presence of moisture. In that way, it is unfortunately similar to particle board. Of course these materials have their uses, but I won't be making furniture with it nor will I use it in construction., at least until they solve the water decay thing.
why don't they make massively size sheets of Hemp paper, and then press thousands of sheets of Hemp paper on top of each other, and then glue them all together with 1,000+ pounds of pressure or something? You say that Hemp wood is subject to tearing... Like particle board. If it was made as a paper, stacked, and glued, then it would work much better, because there'd be a grain to that wood.
@@justinwoodworks well the LOOK of this furniture looks like OBS on crack or steroids. Have you talked to the company that makes that Hemp-wood about the stacked paper approach? I mean... I remember, about 10 years ago, there was this story about a guy that recycled news papers, glued them together, and cut out works of art for furniture. It had a grain to it, like normal wood. He would get creative with the news papers, having them rest on whatever, and it would cause the papers to lay unlevel.... it really made it all truly look like a type of wood grain. I know this same technique can work for hemp. It kind of has to. .... I want to see THAT version of hemp wood... And if you think about it, depending on how the hemp is threaded, braided, or whatever, it could mimic various types of wood. Even down to exploring with the glues. I've seen some hemp wood flooring.... it has a gain to it, it seems. Not quite like stacked paper, but still, it has something cool going on with it. Could you imagine how this could effect the economy? Logging trees could end. And instead of just harvesting a resource, you create twice or three times the amount of jobs. Planting, conditioning and essentially making the resource, and then harvesting it. And then repeat forever with no harm to anyone. No risk of some political crap manipulations. ... Mycelium Networks can be grown overnight and when it's mixed with fabrics (hemp) or wood chips (could be hemp), then the Mycelium Network will form throughout it's structure and after it'd be cooked, to kill the living tissue of the Mycelium Network, you might wind up with something like leather or something kind of like a brick... bricks are a bit stronger... but these are things I'm researching. The hemp and Mycelium Networks could easily replace a bunch of plastics products. We make plastic into everything these days. Tubing. Plumbing... it's crazy. And, the Mycelium network will still have a working Nervous system. Like it'll respond to electrical signals. Kind of like a binary. It's really weird. Really revolutionary. The new economy is going to look really cool when it comes.
So I don't get it. Reel Lumber builds up this mystery product for weeks and it ends up looking like OSB. Might make a good renewable building material, but, frankly, it's kinda ugly, IMHO. How does it paint?
Fair opinion and the build up should not go unnoticed. Reel Lumber is the first in the WORLD to stock this material. Yes it’s different, yes it’s not your traditional looking wood, but you gotta give credit to a family company who is willing to take such a HUGE risk and invest in this. It would not paint well. It’s not for everyone, but I still think it would be great as an accent on a piece. IMHO
Dude! We come here to learn and you offer to do so and you play terrible intrusive music instead? You obviously are a professional and know what you are doing, so maybe share it with us? Best of luck!
Bro!!! That is sooooo damn ugly!! Hemp wood looks like nasty azz plywood!! I would never ever buy something that ugly. People would buy it because it's HEMP...go figure but that wood is ugly AF!!
On a different video, the guy at HempWood said -- hemp wood is so hard, it dulls the tools quickly. And that "it requires carbide" [tools]. Did you find that to be the case? @Justin Woodworks
We need hemp OSB at a competitive cost to normal OSB - it'll be an absolute game changer
Hemp constantly proving that it has more than 40,000 uses.
It sure does!
@@justinwoodworks Be so freaking cool if this replaces chip board, it is clearly a superior product.
There is a special place in hell for anybody who stands in the way of the hemp industry's progress
Understandable!! 😅
It really is a miracle plant.

came out super rad! since its compounded, do you think its heavier than normal wood?
Thanks for the kind words! I guess it depends on what wood you compare it too, but I would definitely say it is more dense than most.
Looks like osb bord
Yah I don’t blame you. Essentially the same process.
Hey what was the condition of all your blades when you finished the project? I'm curious how the hardness (glue) of the material affected the sharpness.
Great question. No immediate dulling, But it definitely was a dense material to machine. I’m sure if it was a bigger project, I would have noticed some degradation of the blades
Nice souce of building material. But in my opinion only, it'd be better as painted pieces.
Agricultural hemp is such under utilized crop! Food, oil, biomass, hempcrete, hemp wood, and it fixes nitrogen in the soil!😎
Could you make very fine chess pieces with Hemp wood? Could you show an example?
I don’t see why not. This material turns well. You just gotta learn to work with it. I turned the knobs on this nightstand if you’d like to refer to that in the video. Other than that, I’m not sure I would be making a video in regards to using a lathe with Hempwood.
You mentioned that hemp is stronger than Oak. Do you think hemp could be used to frame homes?
I think some companies out there use it for structural purposes. I know I’ve seen something here on RUclips about it. I just don’t think it’s made from the same company.
man, have always said for years idk why we can just press this shit and make boards. Love the way the grain turns out honestly. This is pretty huge tbh.
kinda reminds me of a cracked out birds eye maple. or some burl.
Right on. Yah it’s revolutionary for sure.
Hi Justin, Would like to know the mixture before it comes out to be this shape. Is it 100% hemp leaves or what? Please advise. Thanks.
Hello! Yes it is dried hemp with a binding agent that is soy based. Then it gets pressed into shape by some heavy machinery. Pretty cool process.
I love the product, no issues there- it's quality! But, I was looking through the prices and 1 72" board, 1 inch thick is $40. A 72" block is $180. This is obviously an expensive product to produce. I don't think a builder who is looking to build on the cheaper side can afford this. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Great product though.
I agree with you 100%. I believe the costs should go down as production increases. At least that’s the hope. I’m boat sure how widely it will be used and accepted.
Could hemp wood be used for making axe or hammer handles?
Is it suitable for hand tool woodworking?
This could change the whole narrative on conventional wood use..
But i wonder, if any of this is cheaper or not..
It definitely could! I think as time goes by, the production costs will lower, which would then make this more accessible.
Is the place in Murray KY? Hemp wood?
How does it handle moisture and humidity?
Dylan T this material does not handle moisture and humidity well at all. Even with a durable finish over it, I don’t think I would trust it in moisture prone areas. Other than that, it is a great alternative material to use!

How well does Hemp wood deal with water?
Hey there! Hempwood does not fair well with long exposure to water. Oil based stains and products are required on it. Although, I have seen water based stains carefully applied. I would say it’s all about experimenting with what will work and what won’t.
I live in Turkey and for years we have cannabis seeds, which are pronounced as hemp.
Does that mean after finished they furniture cant get wet?
ArtSexTherapy yes it’s probably not ideal in a moist setting.
It's unfortunate resemblance to OSB tells me it would be best used with an oil based enamel or epoxy paint.
Understandable, however there are two different grain patterns that are available with this HempWood. Rift Sawn and Plain Sawn. The Rift Sawn may be more desirable since the “grain” runs straight and is less chaotic. This pattern is not for everyone and would definitely not be suitable for paint.
How expensive is hemp wood compare to other kinds of wood
moiz qureshi I wouldn’t quite call it inexpensive for now but the I believe as it grows in popularity, the price will become much more affordable.
It should be cheaper than hardwood here in Central Mexico and hardwood is very expensive here.
What do you call those clippy springy hog ring things you used on the corners?
That’s quite a description! Lol. They are called Collins Clamps. They work great on delicate miters. If it was something thicker and larger than this, I probably wouldn’t use them. I believe they were meant from trim work.
Justin Woodworks trim is exactly where I need them. Thanks.

Yes, I believe it will get less expensive in the future as production costs decrease.
