Weight kg per M-cube of solid wood?

Anyone have any ideas?

 

I've calculated the volumes of a load of sticks and was wondering how I could estimate their weight.

per stick or as a load.

I've found a site that says Ash goes 650kgs per metre cube (seasoned)

I was looking at a load of semi-seasoned sweet chestnut.

Just test a sample.

 

Cut a piece say 10cmx10cmx10cm. Weigh it then multiply by 1000

 

When you semi seasoned sweet chestnut how long has it been down? Our experience is it's implausibly slow drying in the round. I have some 3+ years old stuff here so may test some out of interest.
