How much does a 4x4x8 weigh?
I just (8.30.09) weighed a few 4X4X8'. Pressure treated (.51 ground contact rated) were between 25 and 30# depending on their moisture content. To contrast, the weight of 2X4X8 (wet, sappy, .40 treated) was 16 # each, so the 4X4X8 should weigh 32# with the same moisture content. Obviously, the moisture content of the wood causes the largest variation, so realizing that, you can only estimate the weights to be "real heavy." This was done with a bathroom scale and standing the wood up.

What is sawn treated wood used for?
"Treated" lumber COULD have several meanings, but it usually means treated to resist rot and attack by insects. Early treatments included creosote (thin railroad ties). "Green" lumber was treated with Chrome, Copper, and Arsenic. Due to health hazards, wood a consumer would be likely to come in contact with (handrails, etc) are now treated with a Copper Boron mix. These woods are used for outdoor stairs, decks, docks, gazebos, etc.- anywhere you would have direct contact with the ground. In Hawaii, the Formosa Termite can do GREAT damage to lumber, so much of the house that is built in Hawaii uses treated lumber.

How much weight can a piece of lumber hold?
That depends entirely on the physical characteristics and construction of the lumber. There is simply no way of answering this question without more info. A two-by-four (2x4) will support more weight than a similarly loaded one-by-three (1x3). A 2x4 will support a greater load on its two-inch face than on its four-inch face.
