FC Weight to volume figure

[Dave177]

Does anyone have the blue book figures to hand for weight to volume ratio for ash and hornbeam? 

Thanks

hi ash is 1.28 cube per tonne and hornbeam is not listed i would say simular to beech at .97 cube per tonne .

hornbeam is heavier than beech on average throughout the year

Cutting hornbeam at the moment alongside ash. Forwarding it out with a small machine on a steep slope, you really notice the difference. I need to take a few chunks home to accurately work out their density, but I reckon the ash is around 800kg/cubic metre and the hornbeam is at least 1100kg. I put a buttress chunk in the river and it sank like a brick.
