How It Works

Wood density varies significantly by species. Common densities at 12% MC (lbs/cu ft): Pine 28-31, Poplar 29, Cedar 23, Red Oak 44, White Oak 47, Walnut 38, Hard Maple 44, Cherry 35, Ash 42, Mahogany 31-36. Denser woods are generally harder and more durable but heavier to transport and harder to work with hand tools.
