is out of Pennsylvania, and claims to use no radioactive clay. They carry Tung Oil ( two kinds) and and Paint STripper called Soy Gel, which claims to remove paint from anything.

Have you used one or both companies? I would be interested in anyone’s experience. thanks Heather

Without the complex ecosystem of a naturally occurring forest the trees don’t do much in terms of filtering the air or water. It is pretty much dead zone. Those tree farms are the equivalent of mass produced livestock.

You do have some sustainable planting but it is a mini industry and very much off the radar of most consumers. I don’t even know where to get that kind of wood and I’m a builder.

Hemp is good. It should be used for all sorts of wood related products. But it is still crippled by marijuana laws put in place by competing corporations (Dupont for plastics, Hearst for paper etc).

I thank you for this article, you provided some good information that make sense. The thing is that I read about a new kind of wood that is being grown specifically to be cut down for building purposes. Have you checked into that…for cases where one has to purchase such as building a new home etc…Also what about hemp materials? What do you think about using hemp fibers?
Thank you.
