The density of sawdust from softwood typically ranges from about 150 to 400 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). Factors such as the type of wood, moisture content, and how finely the sawdust is processed can affect this density. Generally, softer woods will have lower densities compared to hardwoods.
To effectively clean sawdust off wood surfaces, use a vacuum or a soft brush to remove the bulk of the sawdust. Then, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to pick up any remaining particles. Finish by drying the wood with a clean, dry cloth to prevent any moisture damage.
sawdust
If from dried wood, approximately 550 to 600lbs. If from undried hardwoods, approximately 750 to 800 lbs.

To make wood filler from sawdust, mix the sawdust with wood glue or a similar adhesive until it forms a thick paste. Apply the mixture to the wood surface and let it dry before sanding it smooth.
Carpenter ants dig through wood leaving a sawdust residue. Wood bees or carpenter bees also leave a sawdust residue as they dig into wood to make a nest. Termites actually eat the wood so they would not leave a sawdust residue
To make wood putty from sawdust, mix the sawdust with wood glue until a thick paste forms. Adjust the consistency by adding more sawdust or glue as needed. Apply the putty to fill in gaps or cracks in wood surfaces, then sand it smooth once dry.
No, the molecules of a tree and sawdust are not the same. Sawdust is made up of smaller wood particles broken down from the original tree, so the molecules in sawdust are a combination of wood molecules and air.
To make stainable wood filler using sawdust, mix sawdust with wood glue until it forms a thick paste. Apply the mixture to the wood surface, let it dry, then sand it smooth before staining.
To make wood filler using sawdust, mix the sawdust with wood glue or a similar adhesive until it forms a thick paste. Apply the mixture to the wood surface and let it dry before sanding it down for a smooth finish.
Yes, sawdust is a form of matter. It is composed of small wood particles and is considered a solid material.
Place the sawdust and gravel mixture in water and stir. Let it sit for a time - the gravel will fall to the bottom and the sawdust will float on the top. Density of gravel is greater than water and density of sawdust (wood) is less than water. The layer of sawdust can be carefully removed by skimming it off water's surface or by pouring gravel and sawdust through a series of mesh screens of varying size (the screens can be used with dry or wet mixture)I would use the difference in density of the two materials. A simple method would be to have a stream of the mixed materials poured from a higher elevation to a lower, with a stream of air blowing across the stream. Being less dense, the sawdust will be blown to one side, the gravel will drop straight down. Of course, you COULD just drop the mixed materials into water- sawdust floats, gravel does not. Sawdust will also burn, where gravel will not. Roasting the gravel at a heat above the combustion point of sawdust will cause it to ignite, burning the sawdust away, leaving gravel. Of course, if you have plenty of time, just turn a few termites loose on the mix- they will eat wood- but not gravel!
