A thick square panel seen at an angle: the top face a swirling cream-and-brown hemp veneer, with pale plywood layers visible along the cut edge.

HempWood® Veneer Panel is an engineered hardwood alternative composed of crushed hemp stalks and a soy-based, no-added-formaldehyde adhesive that is laminated onto a PureBond® plywood core, creating a flat, stable sheet with a consistent surface grain.

Composition

Hemp fiber, plywood

Handling Notes

  • Resembles White Oak and can be used in various applications, but it's an interior face-grade material and not suitable for structural use
  • Use oil-based stains for finishing, as its high density requires longer penetration than traditional oak
