The cross that Jesus carried was the cross beam that had a mortise in it that was fit with a tenon when raised up. It was probably 12 inches by 12 inches and 8 feet long. That would weigh about 50 pounds.

AnswerWhile we can guess, as above, we do not really know the type of wood - The Bible concentrates on what Jesus did for us on the cross, not on the cross itself. Obviously it was relatively heavy, since Jesus weakened through sleep deprivation, His whipping and other maltreatment, could not carry it.
