HempWood” is 20 percent harder than oak, and grows 100 times as fast. It’s a sustainable alternative for hardwood furniture, flooring and more.

Now that it’s legal to grow hemp in the United States, a man who’s spent the last decade developing hemp “hardwood” is building a $6 million factory to manufacture the product en masse.
It looks and feels like oak, but is actually 20 percent harder than the famous hardwood tree.
It also grows 100 times as fast. While it takes an oak tree at least 6 decades to mature, it takes hemp 6 months.
Thats good news for oak trees, as they are among the most endangered trees in the planet because of the high demand for solid oak furniture.
HempWood will be used to make blocks, boards, flooring, cutting boards and skateboards, all at prices far cheaper than oak.
