A yellow pine 2x4 can swell to about 0.1% to 0.2% of the original size. It is important to note the swelling and shrinkage of any type of wood before using it.Ê
Ah, the weight of a standard 2x4 can vary depending on the type of wood and its moisture content. On average, a 2x4 made of pine can weigh around 1.5-3 pounds per foot. Remember, each piece of wood is unique, just like a happy little tree, so it's always best to check the specific weight for the type of wood you're using.
A 2X4 would be a stud, not a board. Weight depends on the length and species, if it is pressure treated or not. 8ft. hem-fir 2X4 is about 8 pounds or so.
2x4's weigh approximately 1.21 pounds per foot. So an 8 Foot 2x4 = 9.68 pounds 12 Foot 2x4 = 14.52 pounds 14 Foot 2x4 = 16.94 pounds Just take 1.21 pounds times the length of the board and this will give it it's overall weight. This is for pine boards.
The color identifies them as "stud grade" pine.
A 2x4 is simply a piece of wood- ANY wood- that is 1 1⁄2 inches by 3 1⁄2 inches. They are commonly made from pine, fir or spruce, but COULD be any wood.

4x2 so 8?
The maximum weight that a 2x4 can support depends on various factors such as the type of wood and how it is supported. In general, a typical 2x4 made of pine can support around 400-600 pounds when placed vertically. However, it is important to consult a structural engineer or reference a load-bearing chart for accurate information based on specific circumstances.
A 2x4 piece of lumber can typically hold up to 400-600 pounds when used as a horizontal beam.
A 2x4 piece of lumber can typically support around 400-500 pounds when placed horizontally.
Fender used pine which is hilarious in today's standards. I've heard that George Beauchamp and the guys at Rickenbacker made the first ever guitar using a single 2x4 piece of wood and wound the very first single coil pickup using a washing machine.
It depends - logically - on the caliber of the bullet, and the thickness of the pine. A deer rifle bullet will penetrate a 2x4 with no difficulty, and may or may not penetrate a 4x4. A .22 will penetrate neither, a .50 machine gun bullet will penetrate an 8x8. Loosely speaking, I would not consider pine to be a bulletproof material.
