(PDF) Densified Pellet Fuel Using Woody Core of Industrial Hemp ...
We prepared densified wood pellet by agricultural waste. The hemp woody core was used as replacing wood resource. Hemp was separated into the bast fiber and the woody core by hot steaming treatment.
The Mettlewood process basically softens the lignin and drives all the air (which has replaced moisture)to compact the wood fibers.

It might be best to separate the bast and lignin, weave a fabric, reimpregnate it and vacuum-bag the final product.
