Weight per m3 of green Aspen / Poplar

Going round in circles trying to find accepted weight of pop per m3 or vice versa?, thanks

Not in my blue book.

 

How about cutting an 8" round section ( IIRC FC research used this size) such that it fits on the kitchen scales.

 

Fill a bucket so that it is just submerged when pushed down with something thin. Mark the level. Take the log out and then meausure how many cc of water you need to fill to the marked level.

 

If it's a very cylindrical piece you might just do a simple =L*Pi()d^2/4 in a spreadsheet to work out the value.

Quite - it aint in blue book! Grr!

For something more rough and ready but a cylindrical disc with the length less than the diameter. Float it in water and measure the fraction under water, best take an average of two diametrically opposite points. This will give the SG.

aspen is 43lb a cubic foot and poplar runs at around 38lb a cubic foot, both green weights
