Looks interesting... Hemp is apparently very strong and light even compared to regular paper so having a cone made out of it could/should be awesome!

As far as composites go I have read about hemp cloth being used as an alternative to fiberglass and the likes...


IMO its probably not as strong as fiberglass or kevlar but a hemp/epoxy composite has to be a lot stiffer then a traditional pressed paper cone....
