HempWood Pen Blanks

HempWood is an engineered wood product. Hemp fibers are broken down into individual strands and glued together using a combination of soy-protein and cross-linking binders, heat, and pressure. The timber is cut to achieve the appearance, width and thickness desired.

Note from Ed: - HempWood is NOT for the beginner! Sharp tools and a steady hand will result in an outstanding pen, but I have “blown up” several in the learning process. One suggestion that has worked for me is to drill with a brad-point bit at fairly high RPM (I use 2000). Also, be sure the blank is mounted firmly—any vibration makes the process much more difficult.

An online tutorial from another source shows turning the blank using a pneumatic disk sander (When all else fails, cheat!!) :) :) 

 Pen blanks measure 7/8" x 1 x 5 3/8"., and are priced per each. (4 are shown in the photo only to illustrate all 4 sides). Non-Stabilized.

    This is VERY difficult to work with... but worth the effort. Take your time, have plenty of thin CA on hand. Best to knock the corners off on the bandsaw before turning starts. Do your best to avoid overheating while drilling.
