a foot of 4x6 Douglas fir will weigh about 2lbs. to 3 1/2 lbs. per running foot depending on the moisture content of the particular piece of lumber
Douglas fir weighs 34 lbs. per cubic foot, that is 1 ft x 1ft x1f . Therefore a linear foot of a 6x6x12 is 1/4 of 34 lbs or 8 1/2 lbs per foot .
It depends on the moisture content, but the number I have is 34 pounds per cubic foot, so about 120 pounds. I think this is a wet weight, so something less than that probably.
