Choose a wood species from the database or enter a custom density value to calculate weight.

How It Works

Weight Formula: Weight = Volume × Density

The calculator uses air-dry density (moisture content ~12%) from our database of 500+ wood species. Air-dry density is the standard reference point for comparing wood weights.

Note: Fresh-cut ("green") wood can weigh 50-100% more due to high moisture content.
