Want this question answered?
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
Because balsa wood is much lighter
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.
The oven-dried weight of 8.66 tons (7.86 tonnes) is the mass -- which varies by species -- of a 78.41-foot- (23.9-meter-) tall, 15.5-ton (14.38-tonne), 222-year-old oak tree in the OneOak project through the Sylva Foundation. That represents a 58.39-foot- (17.8-meter-) diameter crown oven-dried weight of 4.88 tons (4.43 tonnes) and a 35.35-inch- (89.8-centimeter-) tall main trunk oven-dried weight of 3.78 tons (3.43 tonnes). The mass of oak wood tends toward 1,300.73 to 2,050.3 pounds per cubic foot (590 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter).
Kiln dried Red Oak at 6 percent moisture content weighs 4.444 ounces per cubic inch WRONG! 4.444 ounces per cubic inch is off by a factor of 10. It should be .4444 ounces per cubic inch
You would use meter's to measure an oak tree's height.
Typical window glass weighs 156 pounds per cubic foot. For comparison, a cubic foot of aluminum weighs about 168 pounds, and a cubic foot of oak is around 50 pounds.
There are about 200,781.25 btu in a cubic foot of oak. A cord of wood amounts to 128 cubic feet.
Green Oak Village Place was created in 2006.
You can figure it out from this formula, spicific gravity, 0.7470 wt; of a cubic ft, that's 46.35 @12% moisture content. Good-Luck
A cubic foot of red oak weighs 44 lbs kiln dried to 6%, appx 61 lbs wet. One cubic foot of wood equals 12 board feet of lumber; 1" x 12" x 12" times 12.
Oak trees and green lawns are all over the village.
