I could not find any answer to this question on the internet, either.
But if you look up for "density of wood" you will find that the density of Pine is between 450 and 600 kg/m3.
Douglas Fir Pine density (which is the type of wood we used in CA for structures) is 590 kg/m3
Let's use the metric system and then we will covert the result to our system.
So, let's start calculating the volume of a 2x12. Let's consider a plank with a length of 16 feet.
- 2x 12 is actually 1.5 inches x 11.5 inches, or 17.25 sq in or 116.6711 sq cm
- multiply it now by the length (16*12 inches or 488.64 cm) to obtain the volume:
57,010.16 cu cm (cm3)
- one cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters
- so a 2x12x16 would weigh 590 * 57,010.16 / 1,000,000 = 33,63 kg or
approx 74 lbs
Hope this helps ...

What are the differences between using a 1x12 and a 2x12 speaker cabinet for amplifying guitar tones?
The main difference between using a 1x12 and a 2x12 speaker cabinet for amplifying guitar tones is the number of speakers. A 2x12 cabinet will generally produce a fuller and more powerful sound compared to a 1x12 cabinet, which may have a more focused and direct sound. The 2x12 cabinet can also provide better dispersion of sound and more volume due to the additional speaker.

Is a triple 2X12 header equal to a 6X 10 header?
To compare a triple 2x12 header to a 6x10 header, we need to consider their total load-bearing capacities. A triple 2x12 header has a combined depth of 6 inches and a width of 12 inches, resulting in a total nominal cross-sectional area of 288 square inches. In contrast, a 6x10 header has a cross-sectional area of 60 square inches. Generally, the triple 2x12 header can support more load than the 6x10 header, making them not equal in terms of load-bearing capacity.

What is the maximum span of a 2x12?
The maximum span of a 2x12 lumber depends on several factors, including the wood species, load conditions, and whether it is used as a floor joist or beam. Generally, for standard residential applications with a uniform load, a 2x12 can span approximately 12 to 16 feet. However, it's crucial to consult local building codes and a structural engineer for specific requirements and safety considerations.
