Use the wood density chart below to find the density for different species.
Weight of hardwood timber.
The weight of wood varies by the species of wood and the moisture content of the lumber.
Weight of various types of wood.

Enter the moisture content mc at which the lumber was scaled i e.
Douglas fir can also be used to build lightweight bed frames struts for shelving or anything that requires a sound structural framework.
Do not enter fractions and do not enter the percentage sign after the value.
The mass of over 30 different species of wood are listed below.
Readers should note that there is great variability in the estimation of wood volume and weight of standing timber and logs.
You can rip two by fours in half lengthwise to build the framework for a crate or anything else.
While the data is useful for the design and selection of wood individual samples will differ.
