Depends on the type of wood you are comparing the acrylic to. Woods have different densities depending on water content (ie kiln dry woods, etc...). Acrylics are polymer based products that are custom designed and depending on its strength, can be lighter than most natural woods or just as heavy.

Therefore, while acrylic can be heavy compared to some materials, plywood typically has a higher weight for the same dimensions.

Why is pine wood harder to cut then acrylic?
Pine wood is generally harder to cut than acrylic due to its fibrous structure, which requires more effort to penetrate and slice through. The natural grain and density of wood create resistance against cutting tools, while acrylic, being a plastic, is softer and more malleable. Additionally, cutting wood often involves overcoming its varying grain patterns and knots, whereas acrylic provides a more uniform surface that is easier to work with.
