12x12 timber, of what wood species? And what is the moisture content of this wood? The question above cannot be answered without more information. A 12"x12"x8' piece of Balsa timber will weigh much less than a 12"x12"x8' Teak or Red Oak.

In order to calculate the weight of 12x12 timber, you would need to know the specific weight of the wood, usually based on a board foot weight, then you could calculate how many board feet are in the piece of 12x12 you want to weigh.

To get the board foot amount you would use this formula

Thickness"*Width"*Length'/12 = Board Foot. So my piece listed above would be 96 board feet. Now that you know how much wood you want the weight of, you need to determine the moisture content, and also the wood species.
