As far as I know, Hempwood is the only manufacturer. Hempwood has one or more patents on their process, but that doesn't mean that others can't license the patent(s) or find a process that doesn't violate the patent(s) someday in the future.
Reel Lumber is a lumberyard that is very close to me. Reel Lumber is a distributor of Hempwood's products. Other lumberyards may follow suit in the future, especially if Reel Lumber is successful at it. I buy hardwood lumber from them anyway, so they would be my choice, but only because of their location and convenience.
ExoticBlanks (
@ed4copies) is assessing whether there is sufficient demand for hempwood from Penturners.org members. Ed wants to know whether it would be cost effective for ExoticBlanks to become a hempwood distributor.
-> If I didn't live so close to ReelLumber, I would buy my hempwood pen blanks and other hempwood products from ExoticBlanks. ExoticBlanks (read: Ed and Dawn) are a great asset to our community and deserve our customer loyalty.
