I want to build a place on a piece of land I have here in Puerto Rico. I want it to be different from what is the norm here. My idea is to build it with hemp. I already know how to soften and pulling the outer fiber off the wood but my next step is to grind the wood to make the shiv if this is what is called. I thought of using a chipper shredder to do so but if there is a easier or cheaper way to do so, please help on it. Thank you and when I get the project going I will post pictures. Is my last house project ever because in January I will turn 75 years old, so I want it to be different and special
