I have just weighed a large piece of green oak and it is approx 1000Kg per cubic metre. But this figure will vary widle due to the density and the moisture content of the timber. We supply green oak buildings and there has allways been a difference in weight of pieces of oak of the same size. Hope this helps
Spruce wood typically weighs around 25-30 lbs per cubic foot when green (before drying) and around 20-25 lbs per cubic foot when dry. Drying wood reduces its weight by removing moisture, but the actual weight can vary based on the specific species of spruce and the drying process used.
The weight of pine wood varies depending on factors such as moisture content and size. On average, dried pine wood weighs about 25-30 pounds per cubic foot.
Each type of wood has a different weight per unit volume. Some commonly used kinds of wood are pine, fir, spruce and cedar. Pine weight ranges from 27 to 45 pounds per cubic foot. For one cubic meter, multiply by 27. Douglas fir weighs about 33 pounds per cubic foot. Spruce (dry) weighs 28 pounds/cubic foot. Red cedar weighs 24 pounds/cu. foot.
It is caused by the difference in density between wood and water.One cubic foot of wood is usually lighter than one cubic foot of water, hence the water goes up a little but the wood goes up more.The overall density of the wood block is less than that of the water, so it floats.The basic principle is that when a solid object is immersed in a fluid, the solid displaces some of the fluid. This causes an upthrust on the solid, equal to the weight of fluid displaced. If the upthrust is equal to the weight of the solid it floats.
Answer:With a cord and fractional parts of a cord or cubic meter (AKA a stere).Answer:Firewood is traditionally measured by the "cord".A full cord is a pile of stacked wood 4' x 4' x 8' (128 cu. ft.)A face cord is 4' x 1.5' x 8' (42 cu. ft.)Packages of wood at about 1 cubic foot are available at campgrounds and service stations
To estimate the weight of a wood deck, you need to know its dimensions in cubic feet and the type of wood used. On average, most types of wood weigh between 30 to 50 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, to calculate the weight, multiply the volume of the deck (in cubic feet) by the weight per cubic foot of the specific wood. For example, a 10 ft x 10 ft x 1 ft deck made of 40 lb/cubic foot wood would weigh approximately 400 pounds.
Spruce wood typically weighs around 25-30 lbs per cubic foot when green (before drying) and around 20-25 lbs per cubic foot when dry. Drying wood reduces its weight by removing moisture, but the actual weight can vary based on the specific species of spruce and the drying process used.
The weight of green oak typically ranges from approximately 900 to 1,100 kilograms per cubic meter, depending on factors such as moisture content and specific species. Green oak refers to freshly cut wood that retains its moisture, which contributes to its weight. As the wood dries, its weight will decrease significantly.
The weight of pine wood varies depending on factors such as moisture content and size. On average, dried pine wood weighs about 25-30 pounds per cubic foot.
Density of wood varies by species. Teak, for example, is considerably more dense than balsa. You'd have to determine the weight of the wood you're measuring to answer this question.

The southern yellow pine's weight varies between 32 lbs. per cubic foot and 38 lbs. per cubic foot. The weight of the treatment, if there is one, must be added on top of that, then must be adjusted for the size of the piece of wood.
The weight of wood pellets typically ranges from 40 to 50 pounds per cubic foot, depending on the specific type of wood and moisture content. A standard 40-pound bag of wood pellets usually contains about 0.75 cubic feet of pellets. Therefore, the overall weight can vary based on packaging and density, but they are generally considered lightweight compared to other fuels.
There are about 200,781.25 btu in a cubic foot of oak. A cord of wood amounts to 128 cubic feet.
A 'piece of wood' is very vague. It all depends on the size of the piece and what type of wood it is. Strictly, the weight is the volume of the piece multiplied by the density of the particular wood. Wood floats in water therefore it weighs less than water. Water weighs about 80 pounds per cubic foot. If the wood is wet (freshly cut) it might be 20 to 25 percent water or about 20 pounds per cubic foot. If it is old and dry it might be 5 percent water or about 4 pounds per cubic foot. To this you need to add the weight of the dry wood itself. The weight of completely dry wood is related to the compactness of the cells which depends on the species of wood. "Softwoods"such as balsa or pine are relatively light (large cells with lots of empty space in between which is why they are "soft") while "hardwoods" like oak, walnut or ebony are relatively heavy (small cells packed closely togehter which makes them "hard"). Completely dry pine might weigh 10 pounds per cubic foot (this is a guess, not a fact) while completely dry walnut might weigh 30 to 40 pounds per cubic foot (another guess). Wood still floats even when completely wet so the total weight will always be less than the weight of the same volume of water.
Cubic feet is a measure of volume (i.e. a cube measuring one foot x one foot x one foot). Pounds is a measure of weight (mass). Therefore the relationship between cubic feet and pounds is called density (lbs per cubic foot) and will vary for each substance: a gas (at atmospheric pressure) will have less than one pound per cubic foot, while a block of wood will have a density of approximately 60 lbs per cubic foot.
