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
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.
The specific gravity of redwood is between 0.45 (American) and 0.51 (European). Its density is, therefore, between 0.45*62.4 and 0.51*62.4 pounds per cu ft. ie, between 28.08 and 31.82 pounds per cubic foot. The weight, however, would also depend on the force of gravity at the point where the redwood is being weighed.
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
On average, a fresh oak log can weigh between 2,400 to 2,900 pounds per cord (128 cubic feet). The weight can vary depending on the moisture content, type of oak, and size of the log.
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.
You would use meter's to measure an oak tree's height.
