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

How much does spruce weigh before and after drying?
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.
What is the weight of pine wood?
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.
How many pounds does a cubic meter of wood weigh?
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.
What keeps a block of wood floating of water?
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.
What is weight of softwood timber?
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

How many cube inches are in one 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.

Unit weight pressure treated southern yellow pine?
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.
How many BTU in 1 cu ft of oak wood?
There are about 200,781.25 btu in a cubic foot of oak. A cord of wood amounts to 128 cubic feet.
How much does a piece of wood weigh?
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.
How many cu. ft. are in a pound?
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.

What is the weight of dried Oak wood i.e. lb per cubic foot or lb per square foot of .75 inch board?
The weight of dry, seasoned Oak depends on it's type (English Oak, Red Oak Cork Oak etc), but will be in the range of 590 to 930 kg/cubic metre. This is an enormous variation, but there are lots of varieties. To convert kg/m³ to lbs/cu ft divide by 16.01846. If you know the specific type of Oak you are working with, the answer can be more precise.
What does cedar weight per cubic foot?
Cedar typically weighs between 22 to 30 pounds per cubic foot, depending on the specific species and moisture content. Western Red Cedar, for example, is on the lighter end of this range, while Eastern Red Cedar can be heavier. Factors such as age, growth conditions, and wood treatment can also influence the weight.
How much does redwood weigh per cubic foot?
Redwood weighs around 28 to 31 pounds per cubic foot, making it a relatively lightweight wood compared to others, which can weigh significantly more per cubic foot.
