Like JPG said, it's hemp. I was able to get several dried stalks a few years ago.

I have a chuck of plastic I picked up at woodcraft a while back in the big sale barrel, not sure if they were seconds or just a bunch they wanted to part with or perhaps to short for pens???? Now I just have to find a reason to turn it into something shorter then a pen..... and well find it again.
