Guess the weight

Red Oak from up here in Northeast is much heavier and dense. Shows 80

Weighs more in Kansas! You guys are lightweights!

You’re just old and weak

Yup! I will noodle em again!

Wonder if my weight would be different on a totally healthy, live tree? The base of this I hit almost complete punk.

Red oaks around here tend to grow fast especially free standing: 36" DBH after 40-80 years, but in the forest in virginia, their red oaks seem to only reach around 16" after 80 years. I wonder if that would make heavier wood?

Sometimes those punky ones seem to have more moisture in em! Almost like it got in there and no way out.

Definitely makes a difference. Spruce in Alaska has tight growth rings and is heavier than ours. It’s more like our hardwoods

More moisture, but less wood density. At least that's what it seems like to me.

Betting the spring cut pin oak here over three feet wide is near 90ld sq ft fresh cut. All heart wood might be more. Old honey locust is near 90ish.
The over-cup, post and chestnut seem about right.

While you were trying to gigawatt the molecular weight of wood, most guys just took a stab at it. I would imagine it varies from state to state and year to year anyway

Lmao...

This one had varying tightness of the rings. Quite a few were very tight, then they’d widen out. Uncle Rob, as he’s know to the PA Posse, sealed both sides of the witness ring I cut from the log. I’m eager to see how it turns out. They said they counted 199 rings at the spot they cut but when I got down the base a little further, I came up with a quick count of 180 couple.

How about another?

Stove ready firewood chunk: Osage


How about guessing with no measurements? Or I'll have to go back out and find it.

One split without measurements is tough. Just throwing a number out.. I’ll say 21.
