The first commercial use of Hemp Shield™
Telemark Resort in Cable WI is world-renowned for the vast cedar woodwork that runs throughout the massive lodge. The Resort had fallen on troubled times, but a rebirth has begun. Under new ownership, the lodge has undertaken the restoration of its walls. The magnitude of this undertaking demanded efficiency; the historic signifcance of the structure demanded preservation. But, most critically, the lodge must have a healthy indoor environment. Telemark Resort hosts the Central Cross Country Ski Association and the Community Olympic Development Program, directed by Yuriy Gusev.
Telemark chose Hemp Shield™. Hemp Shield™ is water-based, completely formaldehyde free and ASTM certified. Hemp Shield™ is a truly GREEN product made with 100% pure hemp oil. Hemp Shield™ is a superior wood sealer strong enough even for marine use that exceeds "common premium" deck sealers in UV and durability protection. Hemp Shield™ is available in clear, cedar, hickory, redwood and chestnut to compete with today's choices in home improvement and new construction. The tinted products test less than 1% VOC or HAP; the clear product tests ZERO!
Telemark used Hemp Shield™to safely restore and beautify the lodge interior as well as for the superior outdoor protection they needed. Hemp Shield™ was even applied to the MASSIVE stone fire place in the lobby with dramatic effect.
Original Green Distribution, Prescott, Wisconsin, supplied the Hemp Shield™ for this project.

People rave
- "WOW!! When I walked in to work today I did a double take. The walls looked awesome! I have been coming to Telemark since I was a child, and I don't think I can remember a time when the lobby looked so rich, clean, and fresh." .
- —Jessica L.; Cable, WI
- "When I walked in to the Telemark lobby I was amazed how the woodwork gleamed. I could not believe the transformation from the dull, lifeless look the beams and walls had last summer when we had visited, to what it looked like today. I instantly had a warm and cozy feeling. The wood now has a brilliant luster that makes it look like new."
- —Katherine G. Merrill; Longtime guest with Telemark Resort
- "Dear Original Green, Telemark Resort in Northern WI recently started a renovation of our main lodge building. We researched wood finishes and sealers that would provide a lasting and economical solution for our cedar interior and exterior surfaces. We also wanted a product that was chemical-free and easy to apply. we ordered 200 gallons of Hemp Shield™. We found the application to be easy and the coverage to be greater than expected. All of our expectations were exceeded including assistance from Ken in directions to the application. We will continue to use Hemp Shieldª as we refinish the exterior of the lodge and look forward to working with Ken and Hemp Shieldª.
