Does the forum have a lumber weight calculator?
I'm looking to figure out some weights of store-bought kiln dried southern yellow pine dimensional lumber.
And I know it will depend on moisture content.
But we all know it's supposed to be dried down to 19 or 20%.

The only weight calculator that I have found so far is for green lumber.


Thanks

Jim, see attached USDA FPL wood density chart.

Shortleaf pine is 38 lbs per CF at 12% MC.
